The Rhythm of Life

This is a song I wrote early on January, while sitting down on the sand of the backyard... The Rhythm of Life. Of course life has an 'its own' rhythm, something that is its in particular.

When I decided to write the song I was looking at one of my booklets written in Portuguese and "O Ritmo da Vida" — with means exactly the same thing — was the title of that, so I thought: 'why not to write about it?'. My main intention was to write about a friend's life and struggles... from my own point-of-view.

The Rhythm of Life

Too many problems to ease,
Too many situations to handle
On two little hands

Not too much time
To take the hands of time
And turn back

But we still don't understand
The rhythm of life
On the blood
That is pulsed by our heart

This is the rhythm of life,
To suffer and rejoice,
To go down
And stand free to survive

This is the rhythm of life,
When we cry
And still fill happy,
When we dance
The dance of pain
But still sing
The song of Grace!
