Bow And Arrow

Are you afraid of the future my love?
Can we still pay the bills that rain down from above?
Are you afraid of fires and flood?
Can we still see the forest? Is there hope in your blood?

If we gather the fears that turn into tears
To stand up and fight as we’re facing the gun
If we gather the truth that is answered with lies
Can we break them all down, can we all be as one? – then

Refr.
Let our fear be the bow
The arrow our rage
Let our anger grow
with a smile on our face!

Are you afraid of the future my friend?
Will it hold a promise, or will it just end?
Are you afraid of hurricanes and heat?
Can we still take a walk? Can we move our feet?

If we gather our words and the songs of the birds
To muster our courage as we’re facing the law
If we gather our love against all odds
Like weapons in our hands – we will never withdraw!

Refr.
