The Arrow - Josh Garrels

When you were the age 15 They shot the arrow at you You put that arrow in Became an angel too But you were proud to be you When you made a pact with him A secret that you'd keep That you'd forget that sin Could be so warm, so free! That you could find such release. My dear Sebastian In every breath we complete The meaning of our truth The meaning of our design That I could be a son And someone's son I'd find To be the one, to be the one, man, man of mine From a boy, into a son, into the man, man of mine. E-oh e-oh, e-oh e-oh Hell' sow his seeds into mine And we will grow, And we will grow just as our bodies entwine E-oh e-oh, e-oh e-oh! We wouldn't fail but be anything else but real.

There, I lost my dream On the corner of your street Pink roses at my feet And you said love, it ain't what it seems Yeah, you said love It ain't what it seems That Cupid arrow Makes it harder to breathe And now my lungs They have fallen asleep And I am panic in your sheets And if my heart is yours to keep Why do you drag it through the street? There, I found my dream On the corner where it runs to Hoxton Street Pink rosé in the back seat And you said love, it ain't what it seems Yeah, you said love It ain't what it seems That Cupid arrow Makes it harder to breathe And now my lungs They have fallen asleep And I am panic in your sheets And if my heart is yours to keep Why do you drag it through the street? You were a bad girl when I met you With a smile that could kill I was a bad guy when I met you And now I'm badder still So don't try to deny it You been looking for a partner in crime There's no need to hide it I can give you what you want anytime Yeah, you said love It ain't what it seems That Cupid arrow Makes it harder to breathe And now my lungs They have fallen asleep And I am panic in your sheets And if my heart is yours to keep Why do you drag it through the- It ain't what it seems That Cupid arrow Makes it harder to breathe And now my lungs They have fallen asleep And I am panic in your sheets And if my heart is yours to keep Why do you drag it through the street?

The times are changin' I can feel it in my bones Cause I'm standing on the edge of the other side of all that I've known It's been a long time comin' I take one last breath With my eyes open wide, smilin' up into the skies, it begins with a step For the world awaits Like a mother celebrates A child who's life's begun Step across that line Out into the sunshine O Lord, my time has come I'm gonna run I'm gonna run Strength like a lion burns like fire in my veins Cause I will run and I will not grow weary until I'm face to face I feel the pleasure of my Lord when I'm in stride For the glory of the Lord is man who is completely alive For the world awaits Like a mother celebrates A child who's life's begun Step across that line Out into the sunshine O Lord, my time has come I'm gonna run I'm gonna run

One, two, three I will build my house Whether storm or drought On the rock that does not move I will set my hope In your love, O Lord And Your faithfulness will prove You are steadfast, steadfast You are steadfast, steadfast By the word You spoke All the starry host Are called out by name each night In Your watchful care I will rest secure As You lead me with Your light You are steadfast, steadfast You are steadfast, steadfast I will not trust in the strength of kings On Your promise I will stand I will shout for joy, I will raise my voice Hallelujah to the Lamb! You are steadfast, steadfast You are steadfast, steadfast In the moment of emptiness All was fulfilled In the hour of darkness Your light was revealed In the presence of death Your life was affirmed In the absence of holiness You are still God You are steadfast, steadfast You are steadfast, steadfast
