The Arrow

from Aguas Profundas by Simon Hudson

/

lyrics

When the die was cast
Did it wonder how it should roll?
When the die was cast for one and all?

And when the bow was loosed
Did the arrow wonder how to fly?
When the bow was loosed for you and I?
For you and I?

So if you’re thinking to yourself
If I could just fly straight
Know that this is the chance you have
And know that it can’t wait

And if you’re thinking to yourself
If only I knew how
Know that this is all you can be
The arrow that is you, as you are now
The arrow that is you, as you are now

When the stage was set
Did the players wonder at their role?
When the stage was set for one and all

And once the cards were dealt
Did we wonder which game to play?
Once the cards were dealt for us today?
For us today?

So if you’re thinking to yourself
If I could just fly straight
Know that this is the chance you have
And know that it can’t wait

And if you’re thinking to yourself
If only I knew how
Know that this is all you can be
The arrow that is you, as you are now
The arrow that is you, as you are now

You start out, you think that you know something
Worked out a way you can grow something
Planting all the seeds that you can today

But sometimes things need to be undone
So that they then can be truly done
First you have to be lost to find your way

So if you’re thinking to yourself
If I could just fly straight
Know that this is the chance you have
And know that it can’t wait

And if you’re thinking to yourself
If only I knew how
This is all you can be
The arrow that is you

And if you’re thinking to yourself
If I could just fly straight
Know that this is the chance you have
And know that it can’t wait

And if you’re thinking to yourself
If only I knew how
This is all you can be
The arrow that is you, as you are now
The arrow that is you, as you are now
The arrow that is you, as you are now
