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  the  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  growin'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  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
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  so  she  goes.
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  growin'wild
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  growin'wild
She's  a  flower  growin'wild
She's  a  flower  growin'wild
