“Wildflower” is the tenth and penultimate song on In Hearts Wake’s second studio album Earthwalker.
During a performance, the band explained this song is about a girl who they watched pass away from cancer.
She was ready to leave home
Her journey planned out for so long

These days are passing by
Like clouds in the summer sky
Hold close what you love in life
Like whispers of winter
She faced the last of her days
Why doesn't fortune ever favour the brave?
Tears stream down her face like pouring rain
We saw her bloom like a wildflower
I know, I know nothing is forever
When you go, when you go
What will you treasure?
These days are passing by
Like clouds in the summer sky
Hold close what you love in life
These are words you'll never read
And I'm a voice you'll never hear
I know you fly free, and you haven't left me
You're always with me
Relieving all the pain
You shed away your shell but not in vain (not in vain)
Love is the only answer
With joy and laughter, forever after (forever after)
I miss you wildflower
