every heart's a hurricane, 
each soul a starlit sea, 
every mind's a meteor, 
unbound by gravity. 
and everybody's wishing
they could learn to tame their tides, 
when nothing more than nature
is what's echoing inside. 

every life's a lightning bolt, 
yet everyone's told no;
bite back all your thunder
and don't let wild things show. 
every heart's a hurricane, 
everyone a world within, 
every life too short for loathing
any storms beneath your skin.
