Wildflower

[Verse 1]
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 the sorrow 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

[Bridge]
And if by chance that I should hold her
(And if by chance that I should hold her)
Let me hold her for a time
(Let me hold her for a time)
And if allowed but one possession
I will pick her from the garden to be mine, mine
(I will pick her from the garden to be mine)

[Verse 2]
Be careful how you touch her
For she'll awaken
And sleeps the only freedom
That she knows (That she knows)
And when you walk 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 (She's a lady)
Let her dream, for she's a child (Child)
Let the rain fall down upon her
(Oh, let the rain fall, let the rain fall)
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild
Let her cry, for she's a lady (Ooh, her cry, she's a lady)
Let her dream, for she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
(Let the rain fall, let the rain fall)
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild

[Outro]
She's a free and gentle flower
She's a flower
Growing wild
