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 stoppin' 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
