Song for Spring
Embracing Life's Transient Beauty: Canyon City's Song for Spring
Lyrics
I want to wrap my arms around this day
I desire to embrace and cherish this present day.
Then take it home and name it
Expressing the intent to take the day with me and assign it a special significance.
I’ll keep alive the light outlining shade
I will sustain the brightness that outlines the shadows.
I’ll find a way to save it
Determined to find a method to preserve this moment.
But something made so wild can’t be tamed
Acknowledging that something untamed cannot be restrained.
It’s robbery to cage it
Viewing the act of confining such wildness as a form of theft.
I try to keep my eyes inside the frame
Attempting to stay focused within the confines or limits.
I don’t want to see the way we fade in time
Expressing reluctance to witness the inevitable fading with time.
I’ve been watching so long for signs of life and coming change
An extended period of observation for signs of life and impending changes.
Help me walk away and on
Pleading for assistance in moving forward and letting go.
The moment that the cold meets orange sky
Describing a moment when cold meets an orange sky, prompting the creation of new chapters.
Reminds to write new chapters
Being inspired to write and embrace change by the meeting of cold and an orange sky.
The winter leaves some ghosts in coats of white but
Winter leaves behind memories clad in white, while the river flows rapidly.
Thе river’s running faster
The river's speed prompts contemplation about the safety of holding onto something tightly in a transient world.
I wonder if it’s safe to hold you tight if nothing is forever
Questioning the safety of embracing tightly when nothing is permanent.
I hold on to my faith that every night has a place that comes together next to light
Maintaining faith that each night has a place that harmonizes with light.
I’ve been watching so long for signs of life and coming change
Reiterating the prolonged search for signs of life and impending changes.
Help me walk away and on
Seeking assistance in moving forward and leaving the past behind.
Change
Emphasizing the theme of change.
Change
Repetition of the word "Change," further emphasizing the call for change.
Help me walk away
Seeking support and assistance in the process of moving forward.
Help me walk away
Repetition of the plea for help in walking away from the past.
Help me walk away and on
Continuing the request for support in moving forward.
I want to wrap my arms around this day then take it home and name it
Reiteration of the desire to embrace and name the day.
I’ll keep alive the light, your outlined face
Commitment to preserving the light, specifically someone's outlined face.
I’ll find a way to save it
Determined to find a way to save and immortalize the moment.
