Rhythm Of Life

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 
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 (you are the seed in 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, 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 plane of life n' I struck hime 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, yeah 
This is the rhythm of life 
Rhythm of life, rhythm of life, this is the the 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, yeah 
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
