Wildflowers

The hills were alive with wildflowers and I

Was as wild, even wilder than they

For at least I could run, they just died in the sun

And I refused to just wither in place

Just a wild mountain rose needing freedom to grow

So I ran, fearing not where I'd go, oh, oh

When a flower grows wild, it can always survive

Wildflowers don't care where they grow

And the flowers I knew, in the fields where I grew

Were content to be lost in the crowd

They were common and close, I had no room for growth

And I wanted so much to branch out

So I uprooted myself from my home ground and left

Took my dreams and I took to the road

When a flower grows wild, it can always survive

Wildflowers don't care where they grow

I grew up fast and wild, and I never felt right

In a garden so different from me

I just never belonged, I just longed to be gone

So the garden one day set me free

I hitched a ride with the wind, and since he was my friend

I just let him decide where we'd go

When a flower grows wild, it can always survive

Wildflowers don't care where they grow

Just a wild rambling rose seeking mysteries untold

No regrets for the path that I chose

When a flower grows wild, it can always survive

Wildflowers don't care where they grow

Wildflowers don't care where they grow
