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 up 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 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 mountain rose seeking mist'ries untold no regret for the path that chose
|
When a flower grows wild it can always survive wildflowers don't care where they grow
|
Mhm hm hm mhm...
|
Wildflowers don't care where they grow
