Back To The Rhythm

Everybody here is going to and fro in Time, and I'm just sittin' on the sidelines mostly acting blind.
Something in this wicked pace has taken o'er control. I'm tryin' not to lose my face and hide within my soul.
I look to my left and see that nothing's right. Then I look to my right and see there's nothing left.
Swirling seas and windy trees are swaying all so wrong. You can look for me, but I'll be gone.

CH: I'm goin' back to the rhythm --back to the rhythm of life,
Gonna take all that's given, and let the light shine bright.

Darkness falls upon the land and everybody runs as different drummers lose the beat when twos turn into ones.
Chaos reigns in double time. The beat goes all which ways. It's clouding out that piece of mind where all the music plays.
I look straight ahead and know there's no way out. When I look back behind I'm blinded by the doubt.
Waltzes clash with marching blasts and common time is wrong. You can look for me, but I'll be gone.

CH: I'm goin' back to the rhythm --back to the rhythm of life,
Where Time is forgiven. No more chaos or strife.

BR:  I remember not long ago when all the birds would sing. They'd repeat the songs we know. Our rhythm was our king.
But now the winds of Time are blowing uncontrolled by chance. It seems they've lost the rhythm of the dance.
Oh, come on. Bring it back. SOLO

Darkness lays about the land and everybody hides, and different drummers miss the beat when ones turn into fives.
Chaos sews a stitch time, and life just lost the beat. The shoddy rhythm clouds the line for dancin' in the street.
I look to my left and still there's nothin right. Then I look to my right and see that it all left.
Hands of Time are out of line, and metronomes are wrong. You can look for me, but I'll be gone. --1stCH - 2ndCH

I'm goin' back to the rhythm --back to the rhythm of life,
I'm goin' back to the rhythm, and everything will be alright. to fade
