once in a while we sit down to talk
i get lost in my thoughts
and i can't see through all of what's there
i just want out, i want out of here
and i feel like i am midnight, far from the sun
and i have to be quiet

i wanna be free like life's just begin
(there are tigers above me)
i can be strong and tender just like the ocean
(there are tigers below me)

once in a while all is right in the world
i fit in my skin, i don't feel unsure
and i can breathe easy - my steps are light
i don't feel trapped- my chest isn't tight
and i don't know how i can feel this way
i wish i could keep it - i want it to stay

i can be fearless and i can be brave
meeting myself in the fire today
i am the tiger and i am the prey

rollin' like the tide
i will be here - along for the ride
i can see beauty in all the change
like the weather - we feel joy and pain

i wanna find grace in all that i've done
(there are tigers above me)
i wanna be free like life's just begun
(there are tigers below me)
i can be strong and tender just like the ocean
(there are tigers above me)
i can feel love- when my heart is open
