Wildflower
Skylark (T. Ricardson, D. Edwards and David Foster)

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 wore the weight of all her fears
And a sorrow no one hears still rings in midnight silence in her
ears

Chorus:
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

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 paying for a debt she never owes
And a silent wind still blows that only she can hear and so she
goes

Chorus:
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 ...Wildflower

Listen carefully to the song and change the CAPITALIZED words and

She's BRAVED the hardest times you could THINK OF (1 word)
And many times her eyes RESISTED (2 words) the tears,
And when her youthful world was about to COLLAPSE (2 words)
Each time her FRAGILE shoulders wore the weight of all her fears
And a SADNESS no one hears still ECHOES in midnight silence in her
ears

Chorus:
Let her cry, 'CAUSE she's a lady
Let her dream, 'CAUSE she's a child
Let the rain fall down ON her
She's a free and DELICATE flower growing wild.

And if, by chance, I MIGHT hold her
Let me hold her for a WHILE
But if allowed just one possession
I would CHOOSE her from the garden to be mine

Be careful how you touch her for she'll WAKE UP (1 word)
And sleep's the only RELIEF that she knows
And when you SEARCH into her eyes you won't believe
The way she's always FEELING GUILTY FOR SOMETHING SHE DIDN'T DO (7
words)
And a silent wind still GUSTS that only she can hear and so she
goes

Chorus: (repeated twice)Wildflower: Vocabulary
