There's A Rhythm

Ron Sexsmith


There's a rhythm under the song 
And it beats for the old and the young 
And it pounds in the back of the sun 
It's the sound of one drummer, one drum 

There's a rhythm, it's subtle yet strong 
And it moves all the wallflowers on 
To the dance floor that holds everyone 
To the sound of one drummer, one drum 

Dance, for the time marches on 
Off to a war that can never be won 
To the heartbeat of drums 

There's a rhythm not cruel or kind 
Though you feel that it's left you behind 
Is it justice or you that is blind 
When you don't see it coming, how come? 

There's a rhythm under the song 
And it beats for the old and the young 
And it pounds in the back of the sun 
It's the sound of one drummer, one drum
