about

This song is my pretty one. It's my sweet song to God. For as long as I could remember, I've always had this nostalgia for a place or presence I hadn't experienced yet. Throughout my life, God's kinda romanced me til I came to the conclusion that I live in a perpetual state of nostalgia and longing for Him. Arrow is just about that. When I was younger, I didn't know how to receive love and hold it in any meaningful way. Then one day in college, God started showing me His face and giving my heart space to really receive the depth of love that exists for me. My life has felt kinda special after that. Yes I battle sometimes experience mental and physical illness in various forms. But God's presence still remains the magic of my life, the thing I savour in a simple piece of bread or sunset. That's what this song is about.

lyrics

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
