That's Life!
by rhodora bariuad well lee always makes me search for the lyrics of what he sang. first, the boxer. latest, this one - that's life. he slurs or what, that's why i didnt understand at first n so i need to google for the lyrics, cos of course u cant like what u dont understand, right? unless u r shallow to be just content with the beat, rhythm and never understand what the song means. what about now for frank sinatra's "that's life". first, that's life, so all we could say is - that's life haha seems to me these words are overused by those who cant think of words to say in times of failure, downfall, weakness or anything negative. maybe a way to console oneself to move on and get on with this life. there were several times i thought of these words. when i tried my best n still see one liner test pack - that's life when i heard cutting remarks, ridicule or some insensitive, senseless words - that's life when u tried to be good and people around or circumstances wont let u - that's life when one day u r all up n happy, and the next day quite the opposite of it - that's life when i did my best, but i guess my best wasnt good enough - that's james ingram's song when sometimes u think, so this is it so - get used to it but this is a negative way to look into what the song means there are so many bright sides of this song though. "Each time I find myself, flat on my face, I pick myself up and get back in the race." Yes, all the people around u can only do so much but at the end of it all, it's just u n only u should pick urself up to get back into the race. with so many advises, rebukes, encouragement fr all ur support groups it wouldnt mean a thing unless u help urself to stand up. what happens when the people u depended upon fall? so best not to rely on them. Pick urself up so u can stand still. "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." Quitting, been there. well at least just thought of it. but i dont know, my heart aint just gonna buy it as what the song says. cos when the small voice whispers give up, my heart n soul just find their refuge in God and then i feel so at peace. so give up? aint gonna buy it! so we might say that's life as a sigh but what's great about "this life" is there's always tomorrow to make things better. to erase the past and makes things anew to ask for forgiveness to be a better person u've always wanted to be to find strength to face the coming days but of course, this life may still bring some few bumps and burns, falls and turns, cos would u see how dirty u r and in need of God's salvation if u r blameless? wud u feel the need of God if u are totally self-satisfied, content? wud u be wise without going thru some mistakes and pains? wud u know what's worth keeping and not when u had it all? wud u know the joy w/o going thru some hardships? wud u know someone's worth if they're not gone? so this is life - so short compared to afterlife so enjoy, cherish every moment of it when the devil lets u see the dark sides of it think of what i always thought of it - the end justifies the means! God is good, He will turn all these into beautiful things if we just have the courage to trust and believe in Him. Praise His name and see it happen!!! THAT'S LIFE 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 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 laying flat on my face, I just 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 cutting out But my heart won't buy it But if there's nothing shakin' come this here july I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die My, My Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
