Rhythm of Life Paula Cole

[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
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)

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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)
