(Amy Grant & Wayne Kirkpatrick)
|
There was this guy, He was down on his luck
|
He was truly poverty's child
|
Well, he had no home and he had no car
|
And he wore a weary smile
|
Moved out to L.A., knocked around for awhile
|
But he was going nowhere
|
Then he did this movie and it did really well
|
Now he's a millionaire
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
You see life is a curious thing
|
You see life, ooh life, is a curious thing
|
I know a man who could paint the town red
|
Had a college degree in fun
|
|
'Til the doorbell rang and long lost flame said
|
"This little boy is your son"
|
Gave him a suitcase and a bear
|
Left them in a cloud of dust
|
Now he's checking out schools and driving car pools
|
Learning to adjust
|
He says life is a curious thing, yeah
|
You see life, ooh life is a curious thing
|
|
Well I know that it can be demanding
|
I know that it can be unkind
|
I don't really understand it
|
But, Lord sure knows I try
|
See life is a curious thing, yeah
|
See life, ooh life, is a curious thing
|
|
Let me tell you 'bout a kid I knew
|
A pudgy girl back in school
|
She had greasy hair and geeky glasses
|
The object of ridicule
|
The other day in the check out line
|
They were ringing up my rice and beans
|
There she was just a pretty little face
|
On the cover of a magazine
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Just goes to show that you never know
|
Just what tomorrow may bring
|
But I'll tell you this that what it is
|
Is seldom what it seems
|
|
[Chorus]
