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 slender shoulders
wore the weight of all her fears
And a sorrow 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
I should hold her
Let me hold her for a time
But if allowed
just one possession
I would pick her from the
garden to be mine
Be careful how you touch
her for she'll awaken
And sleep's the only freedom
that she knows
And when you look into
her eyes you won't believe
the way she's always paying
for a debt she never owed
And a 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
Let her cry 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
She's a free and gentle
flower growing wild
She's a flower growing wild
