I feel as if this song about an accident, perhaps falling from a tree? (of the limbs where used to break my fall; surley cradled)
The accident, or event, "took his sight" both figuratively and literally. The emergence of his sight then "took his brain", leaving him perhaps paralyzed spiritually or physically. With his new found sight "from the inside", (not able to express his new feelings because he is now paralyzed) he saw all that life had to offer, and that maybe the near-death accident or event led him to think of how much he had to live for despite what happened.
It's that whole the blind see better, Oedipus, truth is not sight type of literal and figurative descriptions blended in the song.
