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
ummmm
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
