Wildflower, sacrifice everything
In a wonderland that you know
It's crazy that I'm clear out of my mind
A wonderful place to be
Wildflower, sweet as the morning light
If I blink an eye, will you go?
I'm starting to care much more then I dare
A wonderful thing to see
And what do we know
First say, 'You love me'
And then say, 'You leave me'
But we never say goodbye
God, You're an angel
But even an angel must choose
Someone will hurt you and when you stop running
There's only this love of mine
Wildflower, sacrifice everything
In a wonderland that you know
If older is wise, one look in your eyes
I'm younger then I should be
And only time
Waiting for you to grow
First say, 'You love me'
And then say, 'You leave me'
But we never say goodbye
God, You're an angel
But only an angel must choose
Someone will hurt you and when you stop running
There's only this love of mine
Wildflower
Sacrifice everything in a wonderland that you know
It's crazy that I'm clear out of my mind
A wonderful place to be
Wildflower
Sweet as the morning light
if I blink an eye will you go
I'm starting to care much more then I dare
A wonderful thing to see
And what do we know
First say you love me
And then say you leave me
But we never say goodbye
God you're an angel
But even an angel must choose
Someone will hurt you and when you stop running
There's only this love of mine
Wildflower
Sacrifice everything in a wonderland that you know
If older is wise
One look in your eyes
I'm younger then I should be
And only time
Waiting for you

First say you love me and then say you'll leave me
But we never say goodbye
God you're an angel
But only an angel must choose
Someone will hurt you and when you stop running
She wakes up when I sleep
To talk to ghosts like in the movies
If you don't follow what I mean
I sure don't mean to be confusing
They say when she laughs she wants to cry
She'll draw a crowd then try to hide
Don't know if it's her or just my mind I'm losing
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
By the side of the road
And she don't need to need like the roses
Wildflower
That girl's sure put a spell on me
Yeah, her voodoos hidden right behind her pocket
If she's fire, I'm gasoline
Yeah, we fight a lot but neither wants to stop it
Well, she'll tell you she's an only child until you meet her brothers
Swear she's never met the man she couldn't make into a lover
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
By the side of the road
And she don't need to need like the roses
She's at home with the weeds
And just as free as the night breeze
She's got the cool of a shade tree
She's growin' on me and I can't live with out her
Yesterday's a memory
Tomorrow's accessory
That's her favorite quote about regret
Well, she'll tell you about her pedigree
With a sailor's mouth he'd have left at sea and it ain't over yet
Nobody knows
That's right
She wakes up when I sleep
Wasted along the way
I'm wasted along the way
I'm wasted along the way to reach you
Wasted along the way
I'm wasted along the way
I'm wasted along the way to reach you
Infernal ides
I trim the wick so fine
To carry forth your light
Comfort me
What will leave will leave
Comfort me to stem the tide
Wasted along the way
I'm wasted along the way
I'm wasted along the way to reach you
Wildflower in the wilderness outside
Take your chance with love and laughter
And every word I write yeah
From that body will never learn
When it's far too gone I'd move on
Wasted along the way
Wasted along the way
I'm wasted along the way to reach you
Wasted along the way
Wasted along the way
I'm wasted along the way to reach you
Ooh wildflower wildflower
Ooh wildflower wildflower
Ooh wildflower wildflower
Ooh wildflower wildflower
She wakes up when I sleep
To talk to ghosts like in the movies
If you don't follow what I mean
I sure don't mean to be confusing
They say when she laughs she wants to cry
She'll draw a crowd then try to hide
Don't know if it's her or just my mind I'm losing
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
By the side of the road
And she don't need to need like the roses
Wildflower
That girl's sure put a spell on me
Yeah, her voodoos hidden right behind her pocket
If she's fire, I'm gasoline
Yeah, we fight a lot but neither wants to stop it
Well, she'll tell you she's an only child until you meet her brothers
Swear she's never met the man she couldn't make into a lover
[Chorus]
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
By the side of the road
And she don't need to need like the roses
She's at home with the weeds
And just as free as the night breeze
She's got the cool of a shade tree
She's growin' on me and I can't live with out her
Yesterday's a memory
Tomorrow's accessory
That's her favorite quote about regret
Well, she'll tell you about her pedigree
With a sailor's mouth he'd have left at sea and it ain't over yet
[Chorus]
Nobody knows [x3]
That's right
She wakes up when I sleep
To talk to ghosts like in the movies
Quiet hour
You have always been my wildflower
Showing up wherever beauty's lost its way
Your heart must break
I was free
Until I heard the song you sang me to me
Pulling me away from everything I knew
To be with you
And everything I know just fades away
And every time you go it hurts me so
I don't know why when I know we're free
Free to fly
Here we are
Burning faster than the cursed star
Falling back down to the Earth
I love you so it sometimes hurts
Closer still
You will find me standing on the hill
Waiting for you with my arms stretched open wide
Now, come inside
And everything I know just fades away
And every time you go it hurts me so
I don't know why when I know we're free
Free to fly
And everything I know just fades away
And where the wildflower grows it picks its space
And that's the way it is when nature plays its lovely hand
We'll understand everything
That was the best fuckin I ever had.
That's because you been dealin with Dasheese
You gotta leave? Where you goin sugar?
I got business to take care of
: No shit.
Shit that's my old man, shit!
Ya better go talk to him
No smokin alarms
I'm mind shockin, body rockin, earth shakin, money makin
Sittin high, lookin fly, drinkin on the best wine...
Yo bitch I fucked your friend, yeah you stank hoe
I seen her on the elevator, honey grabbed my Kangol
She put me on to mega-shit, bout to slap the bitch
She shot crazy verbal, I leaned back like I'm rich
It took place late night on February 17th
Hands flooded like ink, my face on her magazine
Just got back from Honolulu, pockets stackin boucoup cash
Girlfriend sipped the Yoo-hoo and laughed, yo
While I was on tour, whore, you went to work
Quick fast, had a nigga dick in the dirt
You couldn't wait just to kidnap the bait of my sperm
Where's you at, hoe? 'Pinky house, she put in my perm'
That's all you ever said to me, thought that could hold me
Remember when I long-dicked you and broke your ovary?
You crab bitch, chickenhead hoe, eatin' heros
I'm the first nigga that had you watchin flicks by DeNiro
You gained crazy points, baby, just bein with God
Taught you how to eat the right foods, fast, and don't eat lard
I gave you earth lessons, I came to you as a blessin
You didn't do the knowledge what the God was manifestin
You sneaky fuck bitch, your ways and actions told it all
I fucked you while you was bleedin, held you down in malls
Sexually you worshipped my di-dick like a cross
I had you fiend out, broke out, for a month you fell off
You was my main shit, my peeps showed you love on the strength
You saw how I got down, the way I thought had you tranked
But you had to fuck this rasta-head ass nigga
I shoulda slapped ya but the Gods said chilllllllll
That's your wiz fault, god, handle that in the lab"
I'm wonderin how many times your hot ass got stabbed
You dumb bitch, horny hot fuck from out the mountains
Your clientele is low hoe, catch you next show, bro
I got jerked, gave away my pussy, that shit hurt
It feel like somebody died or shot your old Earth
But fuck it, I fucked you on a chair with three legs
Broken tables, had you screamin while you was bitin on my cables
Whistlin to the washing machine, I threw it on spin
If your pussy dry, spit on my dick and put it in
My dick's the bomb baby, marvelous hot steak
Plus I'm conceited Starks make the biggest so-called rape
I'm God, cipher divine love my pussy real fine
That means clean the FDS smell with a shine
She was the kind of girl that never quite fit in
Holes in her shoes and freckles on her skin
Every time she saw those school doors open wide
She'd wanna turn around and run back home and hide
She got used to being stuck at the back of the line
The kind that kept her head down
Most of the time
Secret dreams 'bout the boy in the high school band
And wake up thinking
She never had a chance
She's a wildflower
That's waitin' on a sunny day
Waitin' on the winds of change to blow
Just a red hot spark that's looking for a little flame, yeah
Trying to find the perfect place to grow
She's a wildflower
She makes a wish on every single star she sees
Yeah somewhere deep down she still believes
She prays every night before she goes to bed
Pretty soon her life is gonna change
She just doesn't know it yet
She's a wildflower
That's waitin' on a sunny day
Waitin' on the winds of change to blow
Just a red hot spark that's looking for a little flame, yeah
Trying to find the perfect place to grow
Yeah she's trying to find a place
She's a wildflower that's waiting on a sunny day
She's the secret that nobody knows
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 a 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 growing wild
And if by chance that I should hold her
Let me hold her for a time
And if allowed just one possession
I would take her in my arms, to be mine
Be careful how you touch her, she'll awaken
As 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, 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, growing wild
Let her cry, oh, she's a lady
Let her dream, 'cause she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild
I'm a wildflower by the highway,
Up against the rain
I'm an old man, growing tired,
Getting used to the pain,
I'm a wildflower in a garden,
Tended everyday,
I'm an old dog, hard to love,
And even harder to change.
But it's no time to be slowing down,
It's no time to be turning 'round,
You could blow a hole right through this town
If I don't ever let you down,
I'm a wildflower by the streetlight
Where the night begins,
I'm an old house, barely breathing,
As the walls fall in.
But it's no time to be slowing down,
It's no time to be turning 'round,
You could blow a hole right through this town
If I don't ever let you down,
I'm a wildflower, and I'm an old man.
There's so much in between
And it's no time to be standing by
It's no time to be asking why
You could blow a hole right through this town

Have you ever wondered what would happen to your soul if you'd open a door?
have you ever listened to the wood and wondered who it's calling for?
have you ever dreamt of heeding the call that is in your chest?
have you ever dared to imagine a chance of you taking the test?
Fight! This life is yours! This life is yours!
Child grow wild, like the flower's dance you only got one chance. In this lifetime to give them a sign.
Find your way, to where the sinners roam, just look under the snow. And find starlight, don't give them your prime.
Do you even dare to imagine a life outside of your cradle?
Do you belong to those who fear that a sting of life would be fatal?
Can you smell the autumn rain when you hide behind your walls?
Can you see the stars that shine - you could be the star that falls.
Fight! This life is yours! This life is yours!
Child grow wild, like the flower's dance you only got one chance. In this lifetime to give them a sign.
Find your way, to where the sinners roam, just look under the snow. And find starlight, don't give them your prime.
For all that's dying, Just let it die. Break out of the wheel. And you're alive.
Child grow wild, like the flower's dance you only got one chance. In this lifetime to give them a sign.
In a tenement near the Henry Hudson River
From my favorite spot on a rusting fire escape
I would look below.
And see Mario
Braving the ferocious dandelions
Mario, our fearless superintendent
Kept the garden green, despite the parkway smog
But the flowering weeds
Their fates decreed
Pulled, to keep his rosebush from dying
Then I would creep inside, curl up in my bed
Something strong was pulling at my head
Pulling at my heart
Wild flower, growing in all the wrong places
Wild flower, so lonely ‘neath that lovely rose bush
Proper garden’s nightmare, queen of opened fields
Tell me, who will love this wildflower
For exactly what she is?
Years passed by, we left that red brick building
Left Mario behind
For a brand new house
But my dark brown skin
On the white washed walls within
Stood out, so it’d get me up and cryin’
My growing pains had many rooms to fill, then
Mother never know
..Had a garden to keep clean
While there was NY grease
On her young flower from the Middle East
She was busy pulling dendelions
Then I would creep inside, curl up in my bed
Something strong was pulling at my head
Pulling at my heart
Wild flower, growing in all the wrong places
Wild flower, so lowly ‘neath that lovely rosebush
Proper garden’s nightmare, queen of opened fields
Tell me, who will love this wildflower
I'm not a teacher, nor a preacher
I think I'm street wise
But I trip all the time
My lips are too small and you're too tall
Hard for me to stroke your hair
And do clear the air
I wanna feel we're the same under the skin
How can I be a queen without the King?
It's never easy to form a ring
I'd do anything to be your battery
I can be anything to make you happy
I swear to God
I was there when your heart was broken
I was there when you blamed yourself
I was there when you were giving up
Wish I'd had a word to extend
We live in a zoo, wondering who trusts who
Yes, sometimes they are flaky
And too greedy
I'm not a vower, but trying to be a wildflower
Supposed to keep your peace of mind
But to leave you behind
I wanna feel we're the same as peas in a pod
For me to stay away from you is odd
I see a long path we've trod
I'd do anything if you want me to
You're the rain to make me bloom
So you're allowed to cry
I was there when your heart was broken
I was there when you were under clouds
I was there when you were raving at the world
I was there for you
I've been watching you become tougher
Now the rainy season is over
I'm scared, to tell the truth
Cause you're so free to fly away
I was there when your heart was broken
I was there when you were looking down
I was there when you lost your way
Wish I'd had a word to extend
Did you know?
I was there when your heart was broken
I was there when you blamed yourself
I was there when you were giving up
"Sweet darling country girl
Got her hair tied back in a bow
Walking long and dusty miles
Down a gravel gray Texas road
Her butterfly eyes have seen
The Coming of ten thousand wildflowers
Her eyes have seen the coming of wildflowers
Tiptop of Texas on the handle of the land
The boy who would be cowboy rides on VW van
Bringing everything about him that she can have
If she can
He's got himself a mind for wildflowers
He's coming long miles for his wildflowers
Wildflowers
I wanna live like a wildflower,
Find my place in the golden sun.
Sittin' on the banks of the Okeechobee,
Watchin' that river run.
Where's that girl who ran barefoot,
Chasin' the wind and the butterflies?
Tellin' her secrets to the calico cat:
That cat never heard no lies.
Grandma's apron full of blackberries,
Sayin': "Get your bucket and a-come home child.
"Wash your hands it's time for supper.
"Clean your face but don't touch that smile."
Kiss on the cheek and off to bed:
The nightlight's on and the Bible's read.
Pray, the Lord, my soul to keep:
Lord, keep my spirit free.
I wanna live like a wildflower,
Find my place in the golden sun.
Sittin' on the banks of the Okeechobee,
Watchin' that river run.
Run, run, river run.
Watchin' that river run.
Instrumental break.
Where's that girl who laid in the daisies,
Lookin' at the faces up in the clouds?
Dreamin' of the boy she's gonna marry.
Where's that boy right now?
Come on, honey, go with me,
To the boy and the girl we used to be.
I pray, the Lord, our souls to keep:
Lord, keep our spirits free.
We're gonna live like wildflowers:
Nature's daughter, nature's son.
Sittin' on the banks of the Okeechobee,
Watchin' that river run.
Run, run, river run,
Until this life on Earth is done.
Then up in Heaven everyone.
We're gonna live like wildflowers,
Find our place in the golden sun.
Sittin' on the banks of the Okeechobee,
Watchin' that river run.
And the angels say:
"Run, run, river run,"
Dancin' at the feet of the Father's son.
All God's children having so much fun,
Watchin' that river run.
I'm gonna live like a wildflower.
We're gonna live like wildflowers.
We're all gonna live like wildflowers,
(Deana Carter/Chuck Jones)
I wanna run against the wind
I wanna pull the stars down from the sky
And put 'em back again
I wanna hold the world in my hands
I wanna see forever from where I stand
I'm a wildflower
With my roots down an old dirt road
I'm a wildflower
And I need a little rain to grow
A little sun to help my colors show
I'm a wildflower
I wanna jump every fence
I want a taste of freedom and hold on to my innocence
I wanna fly above the trees
And ride this feeling all the way to the sea
I'm a wildflower
With my roots down an old dirt road
I'm a wildflower
And I need a little rain to grow
A little sun to help my colors show
Let me out from this house, I want the wind in my hair.
The nearness to a window is no longer a sufficient sun.
I'm sick of this vase telling me how deep my roots can reach.
It only gives me as much as it can hold for me to drink.
And I say,
Come my way, come my way, I want you to,
Set me free, set me free. Â I am a wildflower.
Our lives required a windowsill and soil and a flowerpot.
I won't be satisfied until my form of godliness requires God.
I'll watch the empire of your kindness
As it outshines the sun up in the sky.
We'll worship with our minds
All it takes is some moonlight and as long as the weathers fair
Reacts through a river, Romance by the evening air
A fragrance on the flesh this is who she is don't apologize
You are to awe her but you'll only be beautiful in the beholder's eye
Wonderful Wildflower
Open up let me see
Sexy hints in seasons, Share your sunshine with me
The picture is perfect, a keepsake cause the occasion's rare
It's a portrait of motion, I'm just proud to say I was there
To pull her out of the ground, standing out in the crowd, Oh my how she's grown
Hold her in both my hands and put her right on the table when I get her home
Wonderful Wildflower
Open up let me see
Sexy hints in seasons, Share your sunshine with me
Show those pretty colors baby, Show them all to everyone, everybody's got a little light under the sun
Wonderful Wildflower
Open up let me see
Sexy hints in seasons, Share your sunshine with me
Wonderful Wildflower
Open up let me see
I was living in a world without color like an old photograph
Flying down the road,
never looked at what I might have passed
But when I met you girl I just had to slow down
You were beautiful but different
You turned this ol' boy around
You're a wildflower
You caught my eye at the side of the road
You're a wildflower
Girl that's what makes you so beautiful
I love how your pretty shy smile can light up a room
The way that you talk,
share your secrets,
how your body moves
You got a way about you that stands out in a crowd
What you think are imperfections are what I couldn't live without
You're a wildflower
You caught my eye at the side of the road
You're a wildflower
Girl thats what makes makes you so beautiful
I used to wonder if love was out there somewhere
With all the millions of people it was you I saw there
'Cause you're a wildflower
You caught my eye at the side of the road
You're a wildflower
She's faced the hardest times

and many times her eyes fought back the tears
and when her youthful world

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

Let her dream, 'cause she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild
People used to laugh at me when I was a little girl
I guess they didn't understand
But when you're young and all alone
You make up things for the things that are missing
Ooh, how I used to love to dress up in my Mother's
clothes
It made me feel like somebody
I'd pretend I was the prettiest girl at the dance
And all the boys loved me
And I was gonna be a big success
But of course I never got that dress for my very own
I didn't do half the things I thought I'd do
But I guess the good part of my life is that I did find
And you know
Now when I look into a little girl's eyes
It's like a mirror
And I remember, I remember
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 little shoulders
Bore the weight of all her fears
And the sorrow no one hears
Still rings in midnight's silence in, in her ears
Let her cry, she is a lady
Let her dream, she is a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild
Be careful how you touch her
For she will wake up
And sleep's the only freedom that she knows
And when you see life through 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, it's all she knows
Let her cry, oh my, cause she's a lady
Let her sing, sing, cause she is a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a sweet and gentle flower, growing wild
And if by chance you get to hold her
Hold her for a time
And with your new possession, what would you do
I would pick her up from the garden, to be mine
Each time her little shoulders
Bore the weight of all her fears
And the sorrow no one hears
Still rings in midnight's silence in, in her ears
Let her cry for she's a lady
Let her sing for she is a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a sweet and gentle flower, growing wild
And I feel the same
Just a sweet and gentle flower, growing wild
But no one's to blame
Sweet and gentle flower
She's faced the hardest times you could imagine,
any many times her eyes fought back the tears
and wheh her youthful world was about to fall is
each time her slender shoulders, bore 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 while,
but if allowed just one posession,
i would pick her from the garden to be mine,
ummmm
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
how 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: x2
she's a flower, growing wild
She's faced the hardest times you could imagine,
any many times her eyes fought back the tears
and wheh her youthful world was about to fall in
each time her slender shoulders, bore 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 while,
but if allowed just one posession,
i would pick her from the garden to be mine,
ummmm
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
how 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: x2
she's a flower, growing wild
Bouncing round almost day to dayWorking down trying to
make it pay
But if the wheels come off I'll be rolling home
Right back in your arms to stay
Southern town I kind of liked a bit
Bird on a wire, almost made me quit
But if I had my way I'd jump a train and be
Right back in your arms to stay
Blue blue, baby blue
You didn't recognize me 'till I gave you a clue
Come to town and you're lost some where
Thirty thousand dollars in the thin dry air
Judy Collins, Wildflower, Got your head on strait
Jangling sound only twelve strings could produce
Pete Seger must have put to some good use
And if Leadbelly and the Bryds made a record it could be
so you
Black and White TV could barely convey
All the sounds of this guitar that you play
And if I could go back in time I'd take a reel to reel
and catch you on the fly
Blue blue, baby blue
You didn't recognize me 'till I gave you a clue
Come to town and you're lost some where
Thirty thousand dollars in the thin dry air
There is no real home.
I wish I could tell you
how it goes, but you don't know.
Can't even hear the echo.
No, you don't know.
There is no real home,
when you see every show,
Are you gonna lie to me
Are you gonna just keep talking
Are you gonna fly to me
Are you gonna keep on walking
Is it just the way you feel
you can never seem to notice
When it's somebody else's spiel
They'll be the one to be so hopeless
gonna be so sweet
gonna give me power
gonna become just like wildflower
Are you gonna hold my hand
Are you gonna hold it back now
Are you gonna take a stand
Are you gonna re-attack now
Is it just the toys that you want
That never seem to wind up quickly
Is it just the clouds that you
never seem to drown you me
Recognition
gonna be so sweet
gonna give me power
gonna become just like wildflower
Are you gonna take this chance
Are you gonna let it fall like
Glitter in between your hands
Are you gonna save this ghost town
If I wasn't such an old friend
Would you treat me so unkindly
If I wasn't she who would
Then would you climb this tree so blindly
Recognition
gonna be so sweet
gonna give me power
gonna become just like wildflower
Recognition
gonna be so sweet
gonna give me power
gonna become just like wildflower
Are you gonna gonna lie to me
Are you gonna gonna keep talking
Are you gonna gonna cry for me
Are you gonna just keep walking
gonna be so sweet
gonna give me power
