Purple Mountains
Painting Harmony: Exploring the Meaning Within Wild Whispers' Purple Mountains
Lyrics
There was a time not too long ago
Reflecting on a recent past
When the earth grew wild and the rivers freely flowed
Describing a time of untamed nature and free-flowing rivers
One by one the colors came
Colors gradually emerged
Known by their shade, not by their name
Colors identified by appearance, not names
Some came by vessel from across the sea
Colors arriving by sea vessels
Some flew from the air, others crawled on their knees
Various modes of arrival for different colors
Some of them stolen, some lost their way
Some colors acquired dishonestly or lost
Others came from the earth, raised up from the clay
Colors emerging from the earth, shaped from clay
Every twenty times 'round the sun
Every twenty years, a new generation
Come the daughters, come the sons
New generations, both daughters and sons
To decide what they want
Coming of age and making choices
And shake those colors up
Creating change and diversity in colors
Green ground grow wild
Nature flourishing with greenery
Red feathers fly
Symbolic of vibrant and lively experiences
White eyes look wide
Wide-eyed innocence represented by white
Grey stone climb high
Challenges and obstacles to overcome
Blue waters flow
Flowing and adaptable like blue waters
Brown hands take hold
Labor and effort symbolized by brown hands
Purple mountains shine
Majestic and enduring qualities of purple mountains
In the dark black sky
Symbolizing the vastness and mystery of the cosmos
There's a new way to paint the page
Introducing a new way of expression
So each face has a name
Each individual recognized with a name and home
And a home, to call their own
Emphasizing the importance of a personal space
Where every shape has a place
Every form finding its place and purpose
To feel whole, to feel safe
A call for a sense of completeness and security
To share what they know
Encouraging the sharing of knowledge
And let their colors show
Individuality and uniqueness on display
Green ground grow wild
Recurrence of the flourishing natural world
Red feathers fly
Continuation of vibrant and dynamic experiences
White eyes look wide
Wide-eyed innocence and curiosity persist
Grey stone climb high
Facing challenges and reaching new heights
Blue waters flow
Adapting and flowing like blue waters
Brown hands take hold
Labor and effort remain essential
Purple mountains shine
Purple mountains' enduring beauty
In the open sky
Majestic presence in the expansive sky
Green ground grow wild (Green ground grow wild)
Reiteration of the flourishing natural world
Red feathers fly (Red feathers fly)
Continued vibrant and lively experiences
White eyes look wide (White eyes look wide)
White symbolizing innocence and purity
Grey stone climb high
Overcoming challenges and reaching heights
Blue waters flow (Blue waters flow)
Adapting and flowing like blue waters
Brown hands take hold (Brown hands take hold)
Labor and effort persist
Purple mountains shine (Purple mountains shine)
Purple mountains' enduring and shining presence
In the open sky
Majestic and timeless in the open sky
Purple mountains shine
Reiteration of the enduring beauty of purple mountains
In the open sky
Purple mountains' majestic presence in the vast open sky
