Wildflower

[Intro] Let the rain fall down upon her (Listen) She's a free and gentle flower growing wild People used to laugh at me when I was a little girl I guess they didn't understand But when you're young and all alone You make up things for the things that are missing Ooh, how I used to love to dress up in my mother's clothes It made me feel like somebody I'd pretend I was the prettiest girl at the dance And all the boys loved me And I was gonna be a big success, hmm But of course I never got that dress for my very own I didn't do half the things I thought I'd do But I guess the good part of my life is that I did find you And you know Now when I look into a little girl's eyes, it's like a mirror And I remember, I remember [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 little shoulders bore the weight of all her fears And the sorrow no one hears Still rings in midnight's silence in, in her ears [Chorus] Let her cry, she's a lady Let her dream, she's a child Let the rain fall down upon her She's a free and gentle flower growing wild Growing wild, hoo [Verse 2] Be careful how you touch her for she will wake up And sleep's the only freedom that she knows And when you see life through 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, it's all she knows (That she knows, she knows, she knows) [Chorus] Let her cry, oh my, 'cause she's a lady Let her sing, sing 'cause she is a child (She's a child) Let the rain fall down upon her She's a sweet and gentle flower growing wild [Bridge] And if by chance you get to hold her Hold her for a time And with your new possession, what would you do? I would pick her up from the garden to be mine [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Each time her little shoulders Bore the weight of all her fears And the sorrow no one hears Still rings in midnight's silence in her ears (Bong, bong; bong, bong, bong, bong) [Chorus] Let her cry for she's a lady Let her sing for she is a child Let the rain fall down upon her She's a sweet and gentle flower growing wild [Outro] And I feel the same Just a sweet and gentle flower growing wild But no one's to blame (Sweet and gentle flower) Growing wild
