She faced the hardest times you can imagine

And many times her eyes fall back the tears

And when her youthful world was about to fall in

Each time her slender shoulders

For the weight of all her tears

And a sorrow no one hears

Still rings in midnight silence in her ears



Chorus:

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 that I should hold her

Let me hold her for a while

And if allowed just one posession

I would pick her from her 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

For the way she's always paying for a debt she never owed

And a silent wind still blows that she can only hear

So she goes



Repeat chorus 2x



She's my free and gentle flower, growing growing growing wild

She's a free and gentle flower

growing growing wild

She's my flower,

growing growing growing wild

Growing growing growing growing wild

She's my free and gentle flower
