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
Bore 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
And let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower
Growing wild
And if by chance you should hold her
You just hold her for a while
And if allowed just one possession
You should pick her from the garden
With a smile
Be careful how you touch her, for she might awaken
Ooh, and sleep's the only freedom that she knows
And when you walk into her eyes, you won't believe
The way she's always paying
For a debt she never owes
And the strong winds blow
Oh but only she knows and so she goes
Let her cry, oh, 'cause she's a lady
And 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, woo, you know that she's a lady
And let her dream, let her dream, let her dream, for she's a child
And let the rain fall down upon her, hey
She's a free and gentle flower
Growing wild
She's a free and gentle flower
Growing wild
Free and gentle flower
Growing wild
She's a free and gentle flower
Growing wild
She's a free, she's a free
Gentle flower, gentle flower
Growing wild
