Shining Woman
Embrace Life's Breeze: A Tale of a Shimmering Woman
Lyrics
Wind in her hair I met a woman
Encountering a woman with wind in her hair
Her bike was loaded down
Observing her heavily loaded bike
She was riding out
She is on a journey, riding away
I slowed my car and I said hello
Initiating a conversation as the car is slowed
Do you get it all the time
Asking if she understands something regularly
'Cause I feel in this heart of mine
Expressing a personal feeling of understanding
I wanna be like you, you shining woman
Expressing admiration and a desire to emulate her
She sat astride her steel steed
Describing her confidently on her bike
Leaning on her handle bars she looked at me
Noting the intensity in her eyes
You've got fire in your eyes, I can see it
Recognizing a passionate and determined spirit
Life passes by if you don't seize it
Encouraging seizing opportunities in life
Then she rode away into the breeze
She rides away into the wind
I watched her grow small and shimmery
Observing her distance with awe
Sitting in my car I felt a wonder
Reflecting on a sense of wonder from the encounter
Of a wonder take a hold of me
Emphasizing the fleeting nature of life
Life's gone before you know it
Life passes quickly, and time is precious
And excuses come so easy to me
Admitting to the easiness of making excuses
She sat astride her steel steed
Repeating the description of her on the bike
Leaning on her handle bars she looked at me
Reiterating the intensity in her gaze
You've got fire in your eyes, I can see it
Reaffirming the presence of a fiery spirit
Life passes by if you don't seize it
Reiterating the importance of seizing life's moments
Then she rode away into the breeze
She rides away, emphasizing the transience of the moment
I watched her grow small and shimmery
Continued observation of her diminishing presence
Her hair flew around her head
Describing the flowing of her hair
Oh I see it when I lay awake in bed
Personal reflection on the image, especially at night
Light spilled from her eyes
Comparing her eyes to a luminous source
Like moon on a river night
Drawing a poetic analogy to moonlit nights
She sat astride her steel steed
Repeating the scene of her on the bike
Leaning on her handle bars she looked at me
Reiterating the intensity in her gaze
You've got fire in your eyes, I can see it
Reaffirming the presence of a fiery spirit
Life passes by if you don't seize it
Reiterating the importance of seizing life's moments
Then she rode away into the breeze
She rides away again, underlining the fleeting nature
I watched her grow small and shimmery
Continued observation of her diminishing presence
