wildflowers

Lyrics

the hills were alive with wildflowers, and i was as wild, even wilder than they, for at least i could run, they just died in the sun, and i refused to just wither in place, just a wild mountain rose, needing freedom to grow, so i ran fearing not where i'd go, when a flower grows wild, it can always survive, wildflowers don't care where they grow, and the flowers i knew in the fields where i grew, were content to be lost in the crowd, they were common and close, i had no room for growth, i wanted so much to branch out, i uprooted myself from home ground and left, took my dreams and i took to the road, when a flower grows wild, it can always survive, wildflowers don't care where they grow, i grew up fast and wild and i never felt right, in a garden so different from me, i just never belonged, i just longed to be gone, so the garden, one day, set me free, hitched a ride with the wind and since he was my friend, i just let him decide where we'd go, when a flower grows wild, it can always survive, wildflowers don't care where they grow
