Been a puppet, pirate, a poet, a pauper, a pawn and a king Been up and down and over and out and I know one thing Each time that I find myself flat on my face I pick myself up and get back in the race That's life (that's life) And I can't deny it Many times I thought of quitting, babe But my heart wouldn't buy it If I didn't think it was worth one try I'd jump right on a big bird and I'd fly Been a puppet, poet, pirate, pauper, now I'm a king Been up, down, I know one thing Each time that I find myself flat on my face I pick myself up and get back in the race That's life (that's life) And I can't deny it Many times I thought of quitting, babe But my heart wouldn't buy it If I didn't think it was worth one try I'd just roll myself up in a big ball and fly Zop-pop-dup-shoo-be-doo-be-doo
