Wildflower

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, 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 just one possession
I would take her in my arms, to be mine
Be careful how you touch her, she’ll awaken
As 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 a silent wind still blows
That only she can hear, so she goes
Let her cry, for she’s a lady
Let her dream, she’s a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She’s a free and gentle flower, growing wild
Let her cry, oh, she’s a lady
Let her dream, 'cause she’s a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She’s a free and gentle flower growing wild
She’s a flower growing wild, she’s a flower growing wild
