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
