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 don t hold me down please don t 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
