She's faced the hardest times you could image
And many times her eyes fought back me tears
And when her youthful world was about to fall in
Each time her slender shoulder
Bore the weight of all her tears
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
And if allowed but one possession
I would pick her from the garden to be mine
Be careful how you touch she'll awaken
And sleep 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 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 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
She's a flower growing wild
She's a flower growing wild
She's a flower growing wild
