Analysis of Reclaim the light
Reclaim the light
Fear not my hand upon your shoulder
for I wish no frown upon your brow
to take away the wondrous feelings
that we both shared before the grey
Rejoice in fields of clover yonder
where we once walked when life seemed dull
and prize away the stubborn boulder
the one that holds you back from me
Chase away the beast inside you
run through meadows and reclaim
what you deserve and crave so badly
and give yourself a break today
