There is a scream in my heart
a flame in my mind
the dam is about to burst
the water, its nature wants to find
I wanna be the arrow that finds the eye
wanna be the brick that becomes the tower that touches the sky
wanna be the pen that writes history
wanna be the one song of the greatest love story.
I have been silent for too long
my anger, my fury, it has grown too strong
you can’t blame my birth on me, I never did you no wrong
your shackles will hold me no more
I have knelt for too long
now I stand, don’t come in my way
on what you wrongly thought was yours, I am not here to lay my claim
but don’t you dare stop me from building my own
burns in my mind is this furious flame
there is a scream in my heart
that is built from the rage of the ages
you can’t silence, you can’t stop me
your fences can’t hold me no more
my scream, my flame will burn down all your cages.
The devil can also love
and you are still a man
why did you fail to treat me like one
aren’t we all made of the same grains of sand
you say your God wrote down all these rules
with that you made believers of too many fools
your rituals, your rules are all a game
when the unknown you can’t explain, it is so easy a different man to blame
with or without him, life has
and will always be the same
so with your drivel,
my free mind, don’t try to tame
there is nothing you can say that will silence my scream
there is no water that can put out this flame
a new day, a new leaf, a new page
the scream in my heart
the flame in my mind
will burn down every cage.
