Rhythm Of Life Lyrics - 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 die, I awake and I die 

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 die, I awake and I die 

This is the rhythm of life 

Next I was lightning, God energy fighting 

To tell my widow surviving, I was still alive in 

Another plane of life and 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, I awake and I die 

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 die, I awake and I die 

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, aha 

Rhythm of life 

Rhythm of life, rhythm of life, rhythm of life, yeah 

Rhythm of life, rhythm of life, rhythm of life, aha 

Rhythm of life 

Now I am me, in diffident lead,responsibility 

Trying to face my fear, from the trailer park to hear 

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, I awake and I die 

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 

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, aha 

Rhythm of life 

Rhythm of life, rhythm of life, rhythm of life, yeah 

Rhythm of life, rhythm of life, rhythm of life 

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
