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 for the weight of all her fears
And a sorrow no one hears
Still rings in midnight silence in her ears
Let her cry, oh, she's a lady
Let her dream, she's a child
Let the rain fall down up- on her
She's a free and gentle flower, grow- ing wild
And if by chance that I should hold heri
Let me hold her for a time-s
And if allowed just one possession
I would take her in my arms to be mine

Be careful how you touch her, for she'll awaken
And sleep's the only freedom that she knows
When you walk into her eyes, you won't believe
The way she's always paying for a debt she never owed
And a silent wind still blows
That only she can hear, so she goes
Let her cry, oh, she's a lady
Let her dream, she's a child
Let the rain fall down up- on her
She's a free and gentle flower, grow- ing wild
Let her cry, oh, she's a lady
Let her dream, she's a child
Let the rain fall down up- on her
She's a free and gentle flower, grow- ing wild
She's a flower, grow- ing wild
She's a flower, growing wild
