Wild Flower

She's faced the hardest times

You can 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 song that no one hears

Still rings in midnight silence

In her ears

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

And if by chance that I

Should hold her

Let me hold her

For a time

And if allowed but one possession

I will pick her from the garden

To be mine

Be careful how you touch her

For she'll awaken

For sleep's the only freedom

That she knows

And when you look 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

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
