Don't Aim Low

On the wall, I stand

Backed up to the brawny tree

An apple shivers on my head

As scared as me

For what we see in front of us

So rearing in the dust

William Tell, do not aim low

For the apple of your eye

For my shaking heart under my skin

Don’t aim low, oh, bow-man

Stay within the mercy

Dripping down the sky’s freeways

Simmer down the flow

Aim high, for the fruit upon my head

Leave me standing, when tomorrow comes

When the arrow comes

To choose the sacrifice

To kill the calf, instead of me

Oh, arrow, don’t aim low
