I want to be free

away from all the boxes and the strings

Stressed from all the hard work

Suffocating

I wonder how life will go

I wanna break through all the walls and frame

and scream out loud what’s deep inside

I’ll take both my wings and burn across the skyline

I don’t know where I’ll go and my destiny

I guess it’s fine that I don’t know who I’ll be

 

Try to lock me in this cage

I won’t just give it up go ahead and cry

This is my life

It isn’t anything you can decide

If I fall down I’ll stand back up again

although I might break down and die

I don’t care if that’s what it takes on my way

I don’t care what’s written down in books and history

I want to show the world

this is what I can be

 

I understand that I should’t run for nothing but

I really don’t wanna think about who I’ll be

who I’ll be

I don’t care what’s written down in books and history

I wanna show the world

this is what I can be

I wanna show the world

this is what I can be

I wrote this song when I was in 9th grade. I was feeling caged in and wanted to express my desire to break free.  It was a liberating experience writing and making the song.
