I am the wilderness locked in a cage
i am a growing force you kept in place
i am a tree reaching for the sun
please dont hold me down
please dont hold me down
i am a rolling wave without the motion
a glass of water longing for the ocean
i am an asphalt flower breaking free
but you keep stopping me

release me
release me

i am the rain that's coming down on you
that you shielded yourself from with a roof
i am the fire burning desperately
but you're controlling me

release me
release me
