En klok man sjöng en gång;

That's life, that's what all the people say.
You're riding high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune,
When I'm back on top, back on top in June.
I said that's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks, Stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down,'
Cause this fine ol' world it keeps spinning around
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing:
Each time I find myself, flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race.
That's life I tell ya, I can't deny it,
I thought of quitting baby, but my heart just ain't gonna buy it.
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try,
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly
