you keep stopping me

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.
