Shane & Shane's 'Wounded' is a raw, poetic cry to God from a place of deep spiritual pain. The singer questions why God, who has wounded and stolen his heart, does not heal it, leaving it broken like stone. The lyrics express a longing for transformation, asking God to awaken a new heart where the hardness begins to soften and bleed. The repeated 'How long?' echoes a psalm-like lament, capturing the tension between suffering and trust. The song reflects on the refining nature of God's arrow, which leaves the soul in need, ultimately pointing to surrender and the hope of divine renewal.

Why since you've wounded my heart
Don't You heal it?
Why don't You heal?
And why since you've stolen my heart
Do you leave it so?
Oh this heart of stone
Why don't you carry away my heart
You have stolen and left here broken
Why don't you carry away my heart
Already taken
Awaken the dawning of a new heart
Where stone begins to bleed
For the arrow of God that runs through me
Leaves me in need
Here in need
Awaken
How long? How long? How long?
