Paula Cole - Rhythm of Life lyrics

To the critics and the cynics who don't understand the lyrics

To the atheists and the pessimists

Wanting company in their darkness

You may see me as a foolyesa charlatanan egotist

But I'd rather be this in your eyes

Than a coward in his

I began as isisthe high priestess

My arms stretched to siriusmethe serpent venus

Awaken the fetusfertility to jesus

Come and meet us (you are the seed in us)

Looking within I can see beyond my sight

The citiesthe skythe planets roll by

I awake and dieI awake and I dieyeah

This is the rhythm of life

Next I was lightningGod energy fighting

To tell my widow survivingI was still alive in

Another plane of life n' I struck hime seven times

He finally looked to the sky

Shed a tear and joined me dying

Looking withini can see beyond my sight

The citiesthe skythe planets roll by

I awake and I dieI awake and I dieyeah

This is the rhythm of life

Rhythm of liferhythm of lifethis is the the rhythm of life

Now I am mein diffident leadresponsibility

Trying to face my fearfrom the trailer park to hear

Over mountainsthrough 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 citiesthe skythe planets roll by

I awake and I dieI awake and I dieyeah

This is the rhythm of life

All the worlds 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
