VERSE 1
One day we’ll finally be honest
One day we’ll take of the masks
One day, despite stolen breadcrumbs, we’ll find home again
VERSE 2
One day we’ll strip ourselves naked
And plant tiny Edens of truth
One day will spring up the message that there’s nothing to prove
CHORUS 1
And we’ll let go..
VERSE 3
’Til then we take an inventory
of every childhood pain
’Til then we make necessary
the abolition of slavery to blame
CHORUS 2
And we let go..
END TAG
Oh we fight the disease of resentment (Echo: and we let go, let go)
Oh we fight to be healed where we’re wounded (Echo: let go, let go)
Oh, we fight to redeem memories (Echo: and we let go, let go)
Oh we fight for our freedom in honest
In honest
In honest
In honest
In honest
Let go..

Verse 1
Since I was young with wide-eyed wonder, I wondered
With throbbing heart that beat out questions like thunder
Oh what is this longing for more I hold?
Longing rocks my very soul
Pre
It carries on with each blushing daybreak
It carries on as the night winds slow fade
Chorus
Oh my heart is an arrow
Oh my heart is an arrow
Oh my heart is an arrow
Pointing right to You
Pointing right to You
Verse 2
His hand to hold, a butterfly as he moves close
Are only shadows of a mystery I long to know
Oh what is this longing for love I hold?
Longing rocks me to the bone
Pre
It carries on though my wild young heart breaks
It carries on through my fiercest mistakes
Chorus
Oh my heart is an arrow
Oh my heart is an arrow
Oh my heart is an arrow
Pointing right to You
Pointing right to You
Bridge
Sunrise and pink horizons
Romance me like a silly child
My heart is a love letter
Sent from the One who paints the sky
Chorus
Oh my heart is an arrow
Oh my heart is an arrow
Oh my heart is an arrow
Oh my heart is an arrow
Oh my heart is an arrow
Pointing right to You
Pointing right to You

Verse 1:
Thought I could go it alone, thought I could be different
But I'm just another soul that's walkin' vacant
I'm just a barren bucket at a well
I beg you, don't leave me empty
Verse 2:
Life has a bitter ring, it leaves me fractured
Far more than I could ever imagine
Just when my heart is full, water slips through a crack
and slow leaks until it's empty
Chorus:
I walk a desert road
Come with eyes that carry life
And oh Lord, give me sweet water
That will never run dry
Verse 3:
Be still my busy bones 'cause every hour
Is simply a mocking man screaming as you wither
Linger in River Rest, you've outdrawn yourself again
I beg you, don't leave here empty
Chorus:
I walk a desert road
Come with eyes that carry life
And oh Lord, give me sweet water
That will never run dry
Bridge:
Yes I confess that the hurry kills me
It drains me blind to Your beauty
It makes me numb to Your arms of mercy
It makes me look like a madman
Come with rest 'cause the hurry kills me
It drains me blind to Your beauty
It makes me numb to Your arms of mercy
It makes look like a madman
And makes You look like mirages
Chorus:
I walk a desert road
Come with eyes that carry life
And oh Lord, give me sweet water
That will never run dry
End Tag:
Just give me a little more water

Verse1:
My mate, my soul,
How well you tease me
Crush all my bones
with your heart's beauty
Your infinite woes are now mine to carry
Cracks all over our home but we rest here deeply
Chorus 1:
When we first started out, we bled easy
So we'd try to run before any carnage
But we are older now, and we fly easy
Since we've learned that love is balm for the hemorrhage
Verse 2:
Remember all the wars,
how much they'd tempt me
to trample your doors,
to leave you empty?
But funny how life goes
I'd call you the foe, the wretched man
Then somehow I'd lose my throat
Halfway down my own broke road to blame, to blame
Chorus 2:
When we first started out, we bled easy
So we'd try to run before any carnage
But we are older now, and we fly easy
Since we've learned that love is balm for the hemorrhage
Interlude:
Chorus 3:
When we first started out, we bled easy
So we learned to run before any carnage, oh
But we are older now, and we fly, we fly easy my love, we fly easy my love, we fly
Chorus 4:
When we first started out, we bled easy
So we'd try to run before any carnage
But we are older now, and we fly easy
Since we've learned that love is balm for the hemorrhage
Learned that love is balm for the hemorrhage

Oooo
Oooo
VERSE 1:
If I let go of me, will You hold me still?
Calm the swelling sea and the storm within what feels like reckoning
VERSE 2:
If I let me rest, will you stay awake?
Calm my very breath with a single phrase "My love, I'll keep you safe"
CHORUS
When I am wanting
When my body is weaker than it's ever been
I'm found in strong arms
When I am daunted
When my years are like violent unravelling
I'm found in strong arms
Oooo
Oooo
VERSE 3
Will You stay a friend if I forget to call?
I’ve got good intent behind all this foggy dampness in my head
CHORUS
When I am wanting
When my body is weaker than it's ever been
I'm found in strong arms
When I am daunted
When my years feel like violent unravelling
I'm found in strong, strong
Oooo
Oooo

Verse 1
Where are you, my prayers?
You’re out there like yellow balloons
Floating through the thick of air
Where are you, my dears?
You’re out there like yellow balloons
My unanswered cares
Pre-chorus 1
I wonder if the sky could hold all the tales of you
I wonder if the sky knows who you belong to
Chorus:
When all the world seems set to roam
Still here my wonder cries out for the truth
When all the world seems far from home
Still here my prayers fly to God's own bedroom
Verse 2
Where are you? Oh my, oh my
You’re out there, yellow balloons
All my bled out prayers
Pre-chorus 2
Men ask me how far, ask me where you are
When wild waters bleed through my careless eyes
They mock and they taunt me, asking how long
Will I believe God's a friend of mine
Chorus:
When all the world seems set to roam
Still here my wonder cries out for the truth
When all the world seems far from home
Still here my prayers fly to God's own bedroom
End Tag
Oh my balloons, yellow balloons
Oh my balloons, yellow balloons
Oh my balloons, yellow balloons
Oh my balloons, yellow balloons

Verse 1
What will it smell like after the rains?
What will it smell like after the rains?
It’ll smell like earth and smell like pain
Like pitch and pavement things
Like new and washed out stains
Like rainbows in puddles
Verse 2
What will it smell like after the rains?
What will it smell like after the rains?
It’ll smell like storms of yesterday
Like rusty galvanize
Like new and flooded plains
Like dancing in puddles
Chorus
Oh Petrichor
Oh Petrichor
Yeshua, Yeshua will take you over
Verse 3
What will it smell like after the rains?
What will it smell like after the rains?
It’ll smell like roots now grown down deep
Turned into trees planted by streams
It’ll smell like houses built on rocks
The ones that no storm can tear down
Chorus
Oh Petrichor
Oh Petrichor
Yeshua, Yeshua will take you over

Verse 1
Meet me by the harbour by the shoreline
Meet me with a sweater and chamomile
Your hands are all creviced, your hair winter
But your eyes they hold stories of days younger
Chorus
When our love was like summer, summer days
Our love was like summer, summer days
When our love was like summer, summer days
Our love was like summer, summer days
Verse 2
Meet me with a lantern carved in a spoon
That's glazed by a potter and painted blue
Like that feather brooch that I borrowed from mamma
On our wedding day, for my wedding veil
Chorus
When our love was like summer, summer days
Our love was like summer, summer days
When our love was like summer, summer days
Our love was like summer, summer days
Bridge
When hospital rooms whisper of numbered days
And breath is a kite-tail that’ll soon get away
We will sit as the street musicians play our song
Of raspberry lovers, of days long
And when death comes like winter
Still our love will be summer
Yes our love is like summer
Chorus
Yes our love is like summer, summer days
Our love is like summer, summer days
Our love is like summer, summer days
Our love is like summer, summer days
End Tag
Our love is gelatos on Granville Island
Our love is the seagulls on the cobblestone
Our love is a ring ‘cause no man's an island
Our love is your knees on the cobblestone
Yes our love is like summer, summer days
Our love is like summer, summer days
Our love is like summer, summer days
Our love is like summer, summer days
