The hills were alive

with wildflowers

And I was as wild

even wilder than they

For at least I could run

they just died in the sun

And I refused

to just wither in place

Just a wild

mountain rose

needing freedom to grow

So I ran fearing

not where I'd go

When a flower grows wild

it can always survive

Wildflowers don't care

where they grow

And the flowers I knew

in the fields where I grew

Were content to be

lost in the crowd

They were common

and close

I had no room for growth

I wanted so much

to branch out

I uprooted myself

from my home

ground and left

Took my dreams

and I took to the road

When a flower grows wild

it can always survive

Wildflowers don't care

where they grow

I grew up

fast and wild

and I never felt right

In a garden

so different from me

I just never belonged

I just longed to be gone

So the garden

one day, set me free

I hitched a ride

with the wind and since

he was my friend

I just let him decide

where we'd go

When a flower grows wild

it can always survive

Wildflowers don't care

where they grow

Just a wild rambling rose

seeking mysteries untold

No regret for the path

that I chose

When a flower grows wild

it can always survive

Wildflowers don't care

where they grow

Hmm, hmm, hmm...

Hmm, hmm, hmm...

Dee dee dam dee dee dam

Dee dee dam dee dee do

Dee dam dee dee dee do

Dee dee dam dee dee dee

Dee dee dee dee dee

Wildflowers don't care

where they grow

Hmm, hmm, hmm...
