Northern Cardinal
Vibrant Desires: A Musical Ode to Nature's Brilliance
Lyrics
Oh the Northern Cardinal has the sweetest song to sing
Expressing admiration for the Northern Cardinal's beautiful song.
With scarlet on her tail and fire on her wings
Describing the Cardinal's striking appearance with red tail and fiery wings.
Oh I watch her from my room perched up high in that old tree
Observing the Cardinal from a room, possibly reflecting on its freedom in nature.
Till she hops from branch to branch and flies from me
Noting the bird's movement from branch to branch and its eventual flight away.
Maybe if I were as vibrant as her
Expressing a desire to be as vibrant and attention-grabbing as the Cardinal.
Your eyes would linger a little longer on me
Suggesting that being more vibrant might attract longer attention from someone.
In the garden there's a pond and in the water dark and cold
Describing a garden pond with dark and cold water, mentioning silver and gold fish.
I can glimpse the sparkling fins of silver and gold
Noting the beauty of the fish with sparkling fins in the pond.
I remember as a kid I would sit there mesmerized
Recalling childhood memories of being captivated by a fish's graceful movement.
My eyes fixed upon that fish and the way she glides
Focusing on the fish's gliding motion and its impact on the observer.
Maybe if I were as shiny as her
Expressing a desire to be as shiny and attention-catching as the mentioned fish.
Your light would linger a little longer on me
Suggesting that being shiny might lead to prolonged attention from someone.
Maybe if I were full of her colour, her shine and her lustre
Pondering whether embodying the Cardinal's characteristics would make someone notice.
Would you finally see?
Presenting a question about being seen and recognized for one's unique qualities.
Maybe if I were as brilliant as her
Expressing a wish to be as brilliant and captivating as the Northern Cardinal.
Your heart would linger a little longer with me
Suggesting that being brilliant might lead to a longer-lasting connection with someone.
