[Verse 1]
G Am G
I am the wilderness locked in a cage
G Am G
I am a growing force you kept in place
G Am C
I am a tree reaching for the sun
D G Am C
Please don't hold me down
D G
Please don't hold me down
[Verse 2]
G Am G
I am a rolling wave without the motion
G Am G
A glass of water longing for the ocean
G Am C D G
I am an asphalt flower breaking free but you keep stopping me
Am C D G
Release me
Am C D
Release me
[Verse 3]
G Am G
I am the rain that's coming down on you
G Am G
That you shielded yourself from with a roof
G Am C D G
I am the fire burning desperately but you're controlling me
Am C D G
Release me
Am C D
Release me
