0:09Don't block the sun from warming me
0:13When it's so cold in this forest
0:17And heavy branches hang over me
0:21And winds whisper in chorus
0:25I have a soft side and a forgiving heart
0:29But don't mistake me for weak
0:34I've traveled roads that you will never roam
0:38I carry treasures you will never own
0:42'Cause I am one in a long line sound of body strong in mind
0:51And I've worked hard to know myself you don't get to decide
0:58The way I live who I lie with what I forgive
1:05So why's so hard to take me as I am?
1:15I try to see good in everyone
1:19The beating heart of our frailty
1:23But it's getting harder to find common ground
1:27When you wanna derail me
1:30I am a livewire I am a searing ember
1:35Rising from the deep
1:40The sound and fury of our mothers' voices
1:44All they fought for carrying me
1:48I am one in a long line sound of body strong in mind
1:56I've worked hard to know myself you don't get to decide
2:04What I believe what I give up how I grieve
2:11So take your dirty hands off of my wheel
2:37I'm feeling reckless I'm feeling dire
2:42Don't wanna lie in compliance
2:46Afraid to say what I really feel
2:50**** your judgment your violence
2:53I am a wildfire I am a forest burned
2:58But I will rise you'll see
3:03And if you think that you can bring me down
3:07Well go ahead and call the cavalry
3:11I am one in a long line sound of body strong in mind
3:20I've worked hard to know myself
3:23You don't get to decide to whom I serve
3:28'Cause in my world respect is earned
3:34'Cause I am one in a long line
3:37One in a long line
3:39One in a long line
Don't block the sun from warming me When it's so cold in this forest And heavy branches hang over me And winds whisper in chorus I have a soft side and a forgiving heart But don't mistake me for weak I've traveled roads that you will never roam I carry treasures you will never own 'Cause I am one in a long line sound of body strong in mind And I've worked hard to know myself you don't get to decide The way I live who I lie with what I forgive So why's so hard to take me as I am? I try to see good in everyone The beating heart of our frailty But it's getting harder to find common ground When you wanna derail me I am a livewire I am a searing ember Rising from the deep The sound and fury of our mothers' voices All they fought for carrying me I am one in a long line sound of body strong in mind I've worked hard to know myself you don't get to decide What I believe what I give up how I grieve So take your dirty hands off of my wheel I'm feeling reckless I'm feeling dire Don't wanna lie in compliance Afraid to say what I really feel **** your judgment your violence I am a wildfire I am a forest burned But I will rise you'll see And if you think that you can bring me down Well go ahead and call the cavalry I am one in a long line sound of body strong in mind I've worked hard to know myself You don't get to decide to whom I serve 'Cause in my world respect is earned 'Cause I am one in a long line One in a long line One in a long line
