The Rhythm of Life
Harmony Unveiled: Navigating Life's Turbulence Through Edwin McCain's Rhythm
Lyrics
The rhythm of life
The essence or pattern of life
Heaven withstanding and smiling we're all swept away
Despite challenges from heaven, we're joyfully overwhelmed
The rhythm of life
Reiterates the fundamental pattern of life
Is not so demanding as some caught in narrows would say
Life's rhythm is not as difficult as some may perceive
Fragile as ships as we pass through Gibraltar
Comparing fragility to ships passing through Gibraltar
The sirens have long given way
The danger (sirens) has passed
Dark as the murky graveyard of sailors
Referring to a dark and dangerous place
Whispering secrets told in the crashing waves
Secrets whispered by the crashing waves
The beating of hearts
Heartbeats influence and overpower silence
Set walls to trembling the power of silence persuades
Silence has a persuasive and powerful effect
The stumbling feet
Feet stumble, destined to end up wild and crazed
Stagger predestined we all end up wild eyed and crazed
Life's journey leads to a wild and chaotic state
And from the madness most jaded of vision
Even in madness, there's a distorted vision
Reflections of horror invade
Horror is reflected in the state of madness
Running and falling relinquish your venom
Running away and letting go of negativity
The antidote surely will cause your affliction to fade
The cure (antidote) may initially cause discomfort
How little we know of what we are blessed with
We often underestimate our blessings
Our shimmering island it turns
Our beautiful world undergoes changes
How little we look at what we see clearly
We fail to fully comprehend clear observations
Of tragedy's lessons not learned
We don't learn from tragic experiences
Sleeping through classes we'll make it up later
Procrastinating in learning, with time to make amends
There's still so much time left to go
There's ample time ahead
Misguided roses we bloom in October
Even when misguided, we can bloom and succeed
Emerging triumphant in time for the season's first snow
Success comes despite challenges, like the triumph over snow
