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 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 time
And if allowed just one possession
I would take her in my arms
She'll be mine

Be careful how you touch her
She'll awaken
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 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, oh, she's a lady
Let her dream 'cause 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
