[Verse:] Hey, there, you You're on the top shelf Your skies are blue Pleased with yourself Well, don't you get too cocky The road is rocky A-way up there Life is sweet Rosy and round But keep your feet Close to the ground The weather won't be always fair [Refrain:] There'll be ups and there'll be downs There'll be smiles and there'll be frowns There'll be hopes and there'll be doubts, ins and outs But whatever the fates decide Take it in your stride There'll be rain and there'll be sun You'll have all and you'll have none Hitch your wagon to a star, travel far But you're in for a bumpy ride Take it in your stride There'll be friends both new and old They'll blow hot and they'll blow cold You'll be cheered and you'll be hissed, kicked and kissed But whatever the fates decide Take it in your stride Don't get too big for your crown What goes up may soon come down Someone's waiting down below, set to go Coming in on the rising tide Take it in your stride
