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
