Arrows

Broken I came to you
And I fell at your feet
Tripping over my regrets, consequence,
Now relenting, now repenting
These eyes need light
Oh my head needs the oil
My burden is lifting
The arrows retreat at your word

I’ve journeyed through hinterlands
I swam in the leaves
I covered my face with the rain, rid this stain
Needing release, craving your peace
These eyes need light
Oh my head needs the oil
My burden is lifting
The arrows retreat at your word

The sins of our fathers
The ache of the nation
Broken in two by the king of redemption
The lines in our borders
The red on our hands
Like a plunge in the blue there is clear

These eyes need light
Oh my head needs the oil
My burden is lifting
The arrows retreat at your word
