The hills were alive with wild flowers 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 not where I'd go-o-o 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 commonly 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-o-oad 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-o-o 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-o-ose When a flower grows wild it can always survive Wildflowers don't care where they grow
