Wildflower

Wildflower （花）（版）-Lisa Fischer

Let the rain fall down upon her

Let the sun

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

When you're young and all alone

You make up things for the things that are missing

Oh how I kissed 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 you loved me

And I was gonna be a big success

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

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

Let her cry she is a lady

Let her dream she is a child

Let the rain fall down upon her

She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

Oh oh oh oh oh ho

Be careful how you touch her

She will wake up

And sleep's the only freedom that she knows

Ah

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

Let she knows

She knows she knows

Let her cry oh my cause she's a lady

Oh let her

Let her sing sing sing cause she is a child

She is a child

Let the rain fall down upon her

She's a sweet and gentle flower

She's growing growing wild

And if by chance you get to hold her

Hold for a time

And with your new possession what would you do

I would pick her up from the garden to be mine

Oh yeah baby

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

Baby bore

Bang bang bang bang

Let her cry for she's a lady

Oh let

Let her sing for she is a child

Let the rain fall down upon her

She's a sweet and gentle flower growing wild

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
