The hills were alive with wildflowers and I Was as wild, even wilder than they Or at least I could run, they just died in the sun And I refused just to 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 to grow 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 she was my friend I just let her 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 mysteries untold No regrets for the path that I chose When a flower grows wild, it can always survive Wildflowers don't care where they grow
