"Wildflower" lyrics

She's faced the hardest times you could 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 a sorrow no one hears
Still rings in midnight silence in her ears

Let her cry for she's a lady
Let her dream, for she's a child
And let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower
Growing wild

And if by chance you should hold her
You just hold her for a while
And if allowed just one possession
You should pick her from the garden
With a smile

Be careful how you touch her, for she might awaken
Ooh, and sleep's the only freedom that she knows
And when you walk into her eyes, you won't believe

The way she's always paying
For a debt she never owes
And the strong winds blow
Oh but only she knows and so she goes

Let her cry, oh, 'cause she's a lady
And let her dream, for she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower
Growing wild

Let her cry, woo, you know that she's a lady
And let her dream, let her dream, let her dream, for she's a child
And let the rain fall down upon her, hey
She's a free and gentle flower
Growing wild

She's a free and gentle flower
Growing wild

Free and gentle flower
Growing wild

She's a free and gentle flower
Growing wild

She's a free, she's a free
Gentle flower, gentle flower
Growing wild
