Feel the beating of your heart.

To the rhythm of the pulse.

Round and round and round your blood flows.

Arteries are shaped like tubes.

They carry blood to where it's used.

Cells are where the air's exchanged.

Then blood goes back up through the veins.


chorus

Feel the rythym of your heart.

It's been beating from the start.


There's 4 chambers in your heart.

Blood enters the right atrium. Tricuspid valve then opens

Into the right ventricle, until that chamber becomes full.

Through the lungs the blood is carried by the artery called pulmonary.


Feel the beating of your heart.

To the rhythm of the pulse.

Your blood flows. Your blood flows.


Fresh with oxygen from lungs

back to heart in left atrium.

Through mitral valve to left ventricle.

Then that chamber becomes full


 Rhythm of the Pulse    By Jeffrey Hale ©2001


Through aorta blood leaves the pump, 

to the body with oxygen.

Feeding your cells then back to the start 

through the vena cava into your heart.


 repeat chorus


It's the cardiovascular system 

for the purpose of circulation.

It's the inside transportation

of life's amazing creation.


Let's talk about blood for a while .

Phagocytes, lymphocytes make me smile

protecting us against invasion. 

Warriors of our immune system.


Red blood cells with hemoglobin 

attached with molecules of oxygen.

If your skin gets scrapes and cuts 

it's sealed up again with the blood platelets.
