Slave Lyrics
There's a light in the valley
There's a heart all alone
And the door is always open
Go away from your window
Pull the shades way down low
And in a whisper, words are spoken
Higher and higher
Taking you there
You've got to fly
You've got to care
When the feeling's gone
And you can't go on, slave
When things ain't right
You wanna stay all night, slave
Looking for someone
Who will always be strong
And who will not let you hide
You need your defender
For right or for wrong
You know the path is deep and wide
Higher and higher
Taking you there
You've got to fly
You've got to care
When the feeling's gone
And you can't go on, slave
When things ain't right
You wanna stay all night, slave
When the feelings gone
And you can't go on, slave
When things ain't right
Don't give up the fight, slave
There's a heart all alone
And the door is always open
Go away from your window
Pull the shades way down low
And in a whisper, words are spoken
Taking you there
You've got to fly
You've got to care
And you can't go on, slave
When things ain't right
You wanna stay all night, slave
Who will always be strong
And who will not let you hide
You need your defender
For right or for wrong
You know the path is deep and wide
Taking you there
You've got to fly
You've got to care
And you can't go on, slave
When things ain't right
You wanna stay all night, slave
And you can't go on, slave
When things ain't right
Don't give up the fight, slave

...one of Reyne's best.
Reyne is overlooked as a great Australian artist.
Songs like this speak to me as someone who grew up under the influence of the working class, and who remains bound to that upbringing whilst also being educated and pursuing something beyond it.
I don't know, it's songs like this that take me back to where I came from, and I'm so appreciative of that.
To me, this song just sounds like home...
