Wildflower

[Verse 1]
She's faced the hardest time you could imagine
And many times her eyes fought back the tears, Lord, Lord
And when her youthful world was about to fall in
Her tiny, slender shoulders, all the weight of all her fears
And a sorrow no one hears still rings in midnight silence
In her ears

[Chorus]
Let her cry, oh she's a lady (She's a lady)
Let her dream, for she's a child (Child)
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a sweet and gentle flower growing wild, yeah

[Verse 2]
If by chance I should hold her (If by chance that I should her)
Let me hold her for all times (Let me hold her for all times)
If allowed just one possession, I would pick her (I would pick her)
From the garden to be mine

[Bridge]
Baby, bae
Ooh, yeah, hey-hey, yeah

[Verse 3]
Be careful how you touch her for she will awaken
For sleep's the only freedom oh that she knows, Lord, Lord
And when you walk into her eyes, you won't believe
The way she's always paying for a debt she never owes
And a silent wind still blows, that only she can hear
So she goes

[Chorus]
Let her cry, oh she's a lady (She's a lady)
Let her dream, for she is a child (Child)
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a sweet and gentle flower growing wild, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, she's my flower
Growing, oh yeah (Oh yeah)

[Interlude]
Dear mama
This is your baby boy
Hoping that you can hear me
I love you so much
You sacrificed so much
Raising four of us
On your own
You did the best you could
You was just tryna survive your pain
You were like a flower
A gentle flower
A black rose that grew through concrete
Baby
And while you're in Heaven, I hope
You find it in your heart to forgive me
I did the best I could, mama
I know Jesus is smiling every day, every day
Now that you're there
Amen

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah
Baby, baby, babe
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Yeah, yeah
Yo do, yeah
You're my flower
Mama, you're my number one sweet lady
Sweet little flower, oh
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby
