A cardinal fell from the sky So far from home So alone Sometimes I dream in black and white I don't know why I guess I'm numb But I'm not gonna let it show Anymore I think it's time I divide and divide Until one of me is ecstatic to be alive And I hope I'll grow 'Til I'm tall enough To see all through myself and my faults But until then I'm just a cardinal I'm just a cardinal But I'm not gonna let it show But I'm not gonna let it show But I'm not gonna let it show So take my wretched head Turn it into a satellite Bury wings so deep I have no choice but to take flight Tell the ground I said goodbye And I miss the soil beneath my skin But I'm gonna get so high I watch the earth as it I watch the earth as it Spins I'm just a cardinal I watch the earth as it I watch the earth as it I watch the earth as it I watch the earth as it Spins
