Wildflower

She faced the hardest times you can imagine

Many times her eyes fought back the tears

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 is just 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 while

And if allowed just one possession

I would pick her from her garden to be mine

Be careful how you touch her, for she'll awake her

And sleep the only freedom that she knows

And when you look into her eyes, you won't believe

For the way she's always paying for a debt she never owed

And a silent wind still blows, but only she can hear it

So she goes

Let her cry, for she's a lady

And let her dream, she is just a child

Let the rain fall down upon her

She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

She's a free and gentle flower
