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 
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 [bad word] 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
