lyrics

I nocked an arrow to my bow and I brought it to my eye
Pulled back the cord to rest beside my cheek
I stilled my heart and held my breath and waited for the wind
Then I let it loose to leap into the sky
Let it fly

Staring at the target till it seems to fill your view
Perfection never lasts beyond release
And even though I only serve the one true Lord our God
I still quietly mouth a prayer to the yew
let it fly

The most important shot I took, from the top of Sarum's hill
I closed my eyes and trusted in the winds
The arrow took a white deer, hidden from my view,
And off we took to see where she would fall
We let her fly

Dreams are often fleet of foot
The chase is long and hard
The journey can be more than a time between times
More than just a means to an end

I nocked an arrow to my bow and I brought it to my eye
Pulled back the cord to rest beside my cheek
I stilled my heart and held my breath and waited for the wind
Then I let it loose to leap into the sky
Let it fly
