Broken Arrow
Unspoken Sorrow: Corey Hart's Broken Arrow Insights
Lyrics
You know there is no friend without mistake
You acknowledge that friends can make mistakes.
Calling after you
You are reaching out or attempting to communicate.
You defend what will transcend
You defend something that will endure or go beyond.
It echoes through and through
The impact or significance reverberates deeply.
You know you've kept your heart to yourself
You have guarded your emotions closely.
Protecting what is true
Protecting what is genuine and real.
A brooding darkness in a song
A contemplative darkness expressed through music.
Let me sing for you
A request to allow the singer to express their feelings through a song.
You cry, broken arrow

I said you, cryin' broken arrow
