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 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
