Wildflowers

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 And I wanted so much to branch out So I uprooted myself from my 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 I 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 Just a wild rambling rose seeking misteries untold No regret for the path that I chose When a flower grows wild, it can always survive Wildflowers don't care where they grow Wildflowers don't care where they grow
