Cardinal from Decades by Scraps

Take your time, ’cause it flies
Like the birds in the sky
They don’t reap, they don’t sow
Yeah, they’re fine
And when it’s time, we all die
No need to run, no need to cry
‘Cause we don’t choose, when or why
So take your time

I ride as fast as the cardinal flies
I ain’t no falcon, yeah I take my time
Gonna get where I’m going, gonna be on time
It’s a race to the bottom, so i’ll end up on top
I’ll be singing in the morning before the sun starts to rise
You ain’t never heard a bird sing a song like mine

Fly, fly, fly cardinal, fly

I change as fast as the mockingbird song
I ain’t no owl, yeah I don’t stay long
Gonna be who I am in the moment that’s all
‘Cause this moment is fleeting, yeah we ain’t got long
I’ll be flying through the night before the moon starts to rise
Have you ever seen the sun set from the sky

Fly, fly, fly cardinal, fly

Take your time, ’cause it flies
Like the birds in the sky
They don’t reap, they don’t sow
Yeah, they’re fine
And when it’s time, we all die
No need to run, no need to cry
‘Cause we don’t choose, when or why
So take your time
