Slave
Reyne James Lyrics

There's a light in the valley
Despite being in a tough spot, there is still hope shining through

There's a heart all alone
Feeling isolated and without support

And the door is always open
Despite feeling alone, there is a sense of opportunity or escape

Go away from your window
Don't just sit and stare out the window, take action

Pull the shades way down low
Retreat into oneself and avoid facing challenges

And in a whisper, words are spoken
Words of encouragement and hope are being shared in a subtle way

Higher and higher
Striving for better and greater things

Taking you there
Making progress towards a better place or state of mind

You've got to fly
You have to put in effort and make a conscious decision to soar above your circumstances

You've got to care
It's important to be invested in one's own well-being and future

When the feeling's gone
When motivation or enthusiasm has faded

And you can't go on, slave
Feeling trapped and without agency or control

When things ain't right
When things are going poorly or adversities arise

You wanna stay all night, slave
The urge to retreat or shut down in difficult times

Looking for someone
Searching for guidance or support

Who will always be strong
Seeking someone who can provide unwavering encouragement

And who will not let you hide
Motivating one to face their problems head-on instead of hiding from them

You need your defender
Requiring a champion or ally in one's corner

For right or for wrong
Someone to lean on regardless of the circumstances or decisions made

You know the path is deep and wide
The obstacles and difficulties ahead are significant and will require effort and perseverance to overcome

When the feelings gone
When emotional support and motivation has dwindled

And you can't go on, slave
Feeling stuck in a cycle of helplessness

When things ain't right
When things are not going well or as planned

Don't give up the fight, slave
Encouragement to persevere despite difficulties and one's own insecurities
