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 she's a lady
Let her dream, for she's a child child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild
And if by chance that i should hold her
and if by chance that i should hold her
Let me hold her for a time let me hold her for a time
And if allowed but one possession
I will pick her from the garden to be mine
i will pick her from the garden to be mine
Be careful how you touch her, for she'll awaken
And sleeps 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 the silent wind still blows, that only she can hear
And so she goes
Let her cry, for she's a lady she's a lady
Let her dream, for she's a child 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 she's a lady
Let her dream, for she's a child child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild
She's a flower Growing wild
