The Arrow Lyrics

By Josh Garrels

Lyrics

An arrow is stuck between my ribs 

And I pray to God, Don’t let it end like this

I fought like a man with will to live

But I was betrayed by the man within


How on earth did it all go down like this?

I’ve got no words to make sense of it

My shield, my fight for righteousness 

Could not protect me from myself


I’m looking for the higher power

To be my mighty tower

Save me from myself, Oh yeah

But I’m-a fall seven more times

And it ain’t nobody’s fault except mine

There’s only one way out


Please, Lord, forgive me 

I’m down on my bended knees 

And I need your love

Mercy is your medicine 

Help me turn around again

To You, my friend


How long did I fool myself

Believing I, I didn’t need nobody’s help

A fool trusts in his power and his wealth

Until he’s brought down low

Unto a shadow of himself


The arrow was sent to intervene

It pierced my bones and shook me from my dream

Lord You know exactly what I need 

Wounds from a friend, severe mercy


I’m looking for the higher power

To be my mighty tower

Save me from myself, Oh yeah

But I’m-a fall seven more times

And it ain’t nobody’s fault except mine

There’s only one way out


Please, Lord, forgive me 

I’m down on my bended knees 

And I need your love

Mercy is your medicine 

Help me turn around again

To You, my friend
