These are some of the greatest lyrics I ever read!!!! So amazing.
Wild Flower
Song by
New Birth
She's faced the hardest times you could imagine
And many times her eyes fought back the tears (Lord, Lord)
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 (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 I should hold her (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 just one possession
I would pick her from the garden to be mine (I would pick her from the garden to be mine)
Hey, baby
Ooh-hey-yeah
Be careful how you touch her, she'll awaken
And sleep's the only freedom, oh, that she knows, no-no
When you walk into her eyes, you won't believe
The way she's always paying for a debt she never oweed
And the silent still blows, but only she can hear, so she goes
Let her cry, for she's a lady (she's a lady)
Let her dream, oh, she's my child (child)
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild
She's my flower growing wild, yeah
Oh, she's my flower, she's growing wild, yeah
Sit down, baby
And let me rap to you for a second
You see, I know you have it hard sometimes
But when you feel like you need me
Oh, you can call me
You see, because I'll be somewhere around
You see, not only that
You see, I'll be your bridge over trouble waters
You see, the reason why I say this baby is because I love you, girl
I love you so much
Oh, sometimes I can't even explain
You see, you're like a flower that blooms in any season
And that's why I like to say
You're my flower, baby
You're my flower
Ooh, baby
A flower
You're my flower
Flower
It's you, baby
It's you
It's you, baby, baby
It's you, baby
It's you, it's you, baby
Girl, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I love you, baby
You're my flower
It's you, baby
You, you, you, you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I love you, I love you
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Baby, baby
Yeah, yeah, baby
You're my flower
And I just love you
I just love you, I just love you
Sweet of the morning, baby
Yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
I just love you, baby
Baby, baby
It's you-
