Rhythm of Life

I’m walking in sunshine
I’m dancing in moonshine
A steady pace to the finish line
The beat goes on and on

A faucet dripping in the night
The changing colors of a traffic light
The ebb and flow of an ocean tide
The beat goes on and on

Sure as spring follows winter
What goes around comes around
And every one moves to a different groove
A mosaic of sight and sound

A child playing with a bouncing ball
Grows into a person nearly six feet tall
We live and die - it happens to us all
It’s the rhythm of life, the rhythm of life

Another morning, get up and get dressed
Get off to work, and go home to rest
The weekend comes and we're feeling blessed
It’s the rhythm of life, the rhythm of life

The clacking wheels of a freight train
Can’t sleep - my neighbor’s dog is barking again
Useless thoughts in my brain
The beat goes on and on

I’m still walking in sunshine
I’m still dancing in moonshine
Still racing to the finish line
The beat goes on and on

A child playing with a bouncing ball
Grows into a person nearly six feet tall
We live and die - it happens to us all
It’s the rhythm of life, the rhythm of life

Another morning, get up and get dressed
Get off to work, and go home to rest
The weekend comes and we're feeling blessed
It’s the rhythm of life, the rhythm of life
The rhythm of life, the rhythm of life

Songwriter's Notes: Ever notice how much of what we experience in daily life seems to have a beat, pattern or rhythm? Walking down a street, feeling your heartbeat, hearing trains rumbling down the tracks, a dripping faucet, or crickets at chirping at night all have a rhythm. This is the topic of my most recent song, set to an upbeat, pop-rock music style.
