Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 (The feeling of being hidden/lost) They built a wall around the sun And told us that the day was done They kept the keys in iron hands And drew their lines across our lands But they didn't know about the seed That grows beneath the bitter weed. Chorus (The moment of reclamation - the "Heart-Tugger") Oh, you can take the house, but not the home I am a kingdom of my own The cage is wide, the lock is thin I’m letting all the light back in Yeah, I’m letting all the light back in. Verse 2 (Finding the voice again) I’m un-learning every word they said The heavy stones, the tangled thread I’m washing off the dust and shame And whispering my secret name It’s a quiet song, a steady spark That they could never see inside the dark. Verse 3: The Gathering The winter’s long, the ice is deep But even giants fall asleep And one by one, the whispers grow Like shadows moving on the snow We’re trading in the stolen years For silver lines and honest tears We’re pulling back the heavy veil To tell a different kind of tale. Chorus 2: The Reclamation Oh, you can take the house, but not the home We are a kingdom of our own The cage is wide, the lock is thin We’re letting all the light back in Yeah, we’re letting all the light back in. The Final Chorus: "The Light is In" Oh, you can take the house, but not the home We are a kingdom of our own The cage is wide, the lock is thin We’re letting all the light back in Yeah, we’re letting all the light back in From the places where they said we couldn't be From the silence that was never meant for me We’re letting all the light back in. (Slowly) I am tracing lines... I am finding the way... To a face I recognize... To a brand new day. (Whispered) The light is in. The light is finally in.
