Intro

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

 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

Interlude

Be careful how you touch her for 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 payin'

 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 free.......
