Wildflower
She's faced the hardest times
You can imagine
And many times her eyes
Fought back the tears
And when her youthful world
Was about to fall in
Each time her slender shoulders
Bore the weight of all her fears
And the song that no one hears
Still rings in midnight silence
In her ears
Chorus:
Let her cry
For she's a lady
Let her dream
For she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower
Growing wild
And if by chance that I
Should hold her
Let me hold her
For a time
And if allowed but one possession
I will pick her from the garden
To be mine
Be careful how you touch her
For she'll awaken
For sleep's the only freedom
That she knows
And when you look into her eyes
You won't believe
The way she's always payin'
For a debt she never owes
And the silent wind still blows
That only she can hear
And so she goes
Chorus:
Let her cry
For she's a lady
Let her dream
For she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower
Growing wild
