Tigers Above, Tigers Below

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 begun
(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
