Paula Cole - Rhythm of Life lyrics
[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
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 (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Looking within I can see beyond my sight
The cities, the sky, the planets roll by
I awake and I die, I awake and I die, now
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, I awake and I die, now
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 'n' I
Struck him seven times
He finally looked to the sky
Shed a tear and joined me dying
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Looking within I can see beyond my sight
The cities, the sky, the planets roll by
I awake and I die, I awake and I die, now
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, I awake and I die, now
This is the rhythm of life
Rhythm of life, rhythm of life
Rhythm of life yeah, rhythm of life
Rhythm of life, rhythm of life, yeah uh huh
Rhythm of life
Rhythm of life, rhythm of life
Rhythm of life yeah, rhythm of life
Rhythm of life, rhythm of life, yeah uh huh
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
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Looking within I can see beyond my sight
The cities, the sky, the planets roll by
I awake and I die, I awake and I die, now
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, I awake and I die, now
This is the rhythm of life
Rhythm of life, rhythm of life
Rhythm of life yeah, rhythm of life
Rhythm of life, rhythm of life, yeah uh huh
Rhythm of life
Rhythm of life, rhythm of life
Rhythm of life yeah, rhythm of life
Rhythm of life, rhythm of life, yeah uh huh
Rhythm of life
All the world's a stage (yeah, yeah)
And all the men and women are merely players
They have their exit's
And their entrances (yeah, yeah)
And one man in his time plays many parts
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

Awaken the fetus, fertility to Jesus
Come and meet us (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Looking within I can see beyond my sight
The cities, the sky, the planets roll by
I awake and I die, I awake and I die, now
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, I awake and I die, now
This is the rhythm of life
Next I was lightning, God energy fighting
To tell my widow surviving I
Was still alive in

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, I awake and I die, now
This is the rhythm of life
Rhythm of life, rhythm of life
Rhythm of life yeah, rhythm of life
