Rhythm of Life (Album Version)

Rhythm of Life (Album Version) - Paula Cole

To the critics and the cynics

Who don't understand the lyrics

To the atheists and the pessimists

Wanting company in their darkness yes

You may see me as a fool yes a charlatan an egotist

But I'd rather be this in your eyes

Than a coward in His

I began as Isis the high priestess

My arms stretched to Sirius me the serpent Venus

Awaken the fetus fertility to Jesus

Come and meet us

Looking within I can see beyond my sight

The cities the sky the planets roll by

I awake and I die yeah I awake and I die yeah

This is the rhythm of life

Looking within I can see beyond my sight

The cities the sky the planets roll by

I awake and I die yeah I awake and I die yeah

This is the rhythm of life

Next I was lightning God energy fighting

To tell my widow surviving I was still alive in

Another place of life in I struck him seven times

He finally looked to the sky

Shed a tear and joined me dying

Looking within I can see beyond my sight

The cities the sky the planets roll by

I awake and I die yeah I awake and I die yeah

This is the rhythm of life

Looking within I can see beyond my sight

The cities the sky the planets roll by

I awake and I die yeah I awake and I die yeah

This is the rhythm of life

Rhythm of life Rhythm of life Rhythm of life

Rhythm of life Rhythm of life Rhythm of life

Rhythm of life Rhythm of life Rhythm of life

Now I am me in diffident lead responsibility

Trying to face my fear from the trailer park to here

Over mountains through my death

From Harbinger to Amen

May my actions outweigh my words

May my lifetime be of worth

Looking within I can see beyond my sight

The cities the sky the planets roll by

I awake and I die yeah I awake and I die yeah

This is the rhythm of life

Looking within I can see beyond my sight

The cities the sky the planets roll by

I awake and I die yeah I awake and I die no

This is the rhythm of life

Rhythm of life rhythm of life rhythm of life

Rhythm of life rhythm of life rhythm of life

Rhythm of life rhythm of life rhythm of life

Rhythm of life rhythm of life rhythm of life rhythm of life

All the word's a stage

And all the men and women

Merely players

They have their exits

And their entrances

And one man in his time

Plays many parts
