Slave
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Bridge
Higher and higher
Taking you there
You've got to fly
You've got to care
Chorus .1
When the feelings 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
Bridge
Chorus .1
Chorus .2
When the feelings gone
And you can't go on
Slave
When things ain't right
Don't give up the fight
Slave
Chorus .1
Chorus .2
Chorus .1
