[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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Let her cry for she's a lady
Let her dream, for she's a child
And let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower
Growing wild
[Bridge]
And if by chance you should hold her
You just hold her for a while
And if allowed just one possession
You should pick her from the garden
With a smile
[Verse 2]
Be careful how you touch her, for she might awaken
Ooh, and sleep's the only freedom that she knows
And when you walk into her eyes, you won't believe
[Pre-Chorus]
The way she's always paying
For a debt she never owes
And the strong winds blow
Oh but only she knows and so she goes
[Chorus]
Let her cry, oh, 'cause she's a lady
And let her dream, for she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower
Growing wild
Let her cry, woo, you know that she's a lady
And let her dream, let her dream, let her dream, for she's a child
And let the rain fall down upon her, hey
She's a free and gentle flower
Growing wild
[Outro]
She's a free and gentle flower
Growing wild
Free and gentle flower
Growing wild
She's a free and gentle flower
Growing wild
She's a free, she's a free
Gentle flower, gentle flower
Growing wild
