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 

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 
She's a flower growing wild, she's a flower growing 
wild
