feel alive (ain't that right?)
i wanna feel alive
i wanna feel the rush in my ears as the world flies by
i wanna climb mountains
everest, fiji, my own mental health
i wanna do something that matters
i wanna keep growing.
keep moving, keep choosing, keep changing, keep chasing
i wanna fly so high i hit the stars,
my words are strapped to my feet like rockets.
i soar, i fly, i fall down,
an Icarus getting too close to the sun.
i wanna change my name,
mess around with expression
and people's impressions of social conventions.
i wanna show myself the world
and exercise my rights
i'll use my rockets to fly high into the sky
and stand up for what's right, that's the ability to choose.
i wanna make choices.
i wanna sing at the top of my lungs, from the bottom of my heart.
i wanna laugh so hard i cry,
i wanna feel my heart beating inside my own chest,
i wanna feel my blood pumping, my body moving,
i wanna know that i am alive, use my heart and touch the sky.
i wanna speak my mind, get into fights about my rights
ain't that right?
i wanna move mountains, i wanna scream into canyons
and hear my voice echo into the abyss
i wanna go out
i wanna provoke conversation, incite rebellion, encourage the right to protest,
i wanna come at this world, my words are my weapons,
with all that i am, all that i can and all that i'll be
i wanna carry out justice,
i wanna tear down the city walls
i wanna be me, i wanna be free
just let me be
