That's Life (SMASH Cast Version) [feat. Megan Hilty & Katharine McPhee]

That's life, that's what people say. You're riding high in April, Shot down in May. But I know I'm gonna change their tune, When I'm back, back on top in June. Ooh, that's life, funny as it may seem. Some people get their kicks, Steppin' on dreams, (Ivy!) But I just can't let them get me down, Cause this big old world keeps spinning around. I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, A poet, a pawn and a queen. I've been up and down and over and out And oh, the drama I've seen Each time I find myself flat on my face, I pick myself up and get back in the race. That's life, I can't deny it, I thought of quitting, But my friends just won't buy it. But if I thought it wasn't worth a try, Oh, I'd just jump right upon that big bird And then I'd fly. I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, A poet, a pawn and a queen. I've been up and down and over and out And oh, the drama we've seen Each time we find ourselves flat on our face, We pick ourselves up and get back in the race. That's life, That's life, Ooh, I can't deny it, I thought of quitting, But Eileen just won't buy it. So sister, Mother, Broadway star, Or wife, (sure!) I just thank God for the present, the present, That's life, that's life, That's life, that's life, That's life, that's life That's life.
