Liljan

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 have the fire burning desperately, but you're controlling me

Release me
Release me
