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
