Lyrics
She's faced the hardest times, you could imagine
She has experienced incredibly difficult times, possibly beyond imagination.
And many times her eyes fought back the tears
Her eyes have often tried to hold back tears.
And when her youthful world, was about to fall in
During moments when her youthful world was collapsing or about to collapse.
Each time her slender shoulders
Each time, she bravely carried the burden of her fears on her slender shoulders.
Bore the weight of all her fears
She carried the weight of her fears.
And a sorrow no one hears
Her sorrow remains unheard by others.
Still rings in midnight silence, in her ears
Her sorrow echoes in the silence of midnight and remains in her thoughts.
Let her cry, for she's a lady (she's a lady)
Encouragement to allow her to cry because she deserves compassion and respect as a woman.
Let her dream, for she's a child (child)
Encouragement to let her dream as she still retains the innocence and wonder of a child.
Let the rain fall down upon her
To allow life's difficulties to fall upon her.
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild
Describing her as a free-spirited and gentle wildflower.
And if by chance I should hold her (if by chance that I should hold her)
Expressing a desire to hold her briefly if given the chance.
Let me hold her for a time (let me hold her for a time)
To hold her for a short period of time.
But if allowed just one possession
If given the opportunity for only one possession, choosing her.
I would pick her from the garden, to be mine
Expressing a deep desire to have her as one's own.
(I would pick her from the garden, to be mine)
Be careful how you touch her, for she'll awaken
Cautioning about how to approach her because she might react strongly.
And sleep's the only freedom that she knows
She finds freedom only in sleep.
And when you walk into her eyes, you won't believe
Describing the impact of meeting her gaze as unbelievably powerful.
The way she's always paying
She constantly pays for something she never truly owed.
For a debt she never owes
Her debt is metaphorical, representing an unfair burden she carries.
And a silent wind still blows
A metaphorical wind carries a silent message that only she can comprehend.
That only she can hear and so she goes
She's guided by an internal understanding, moving forward despite everything.
Let her cry, for she's a lady
Reiteration to allow her to express emotions because she's deserving as a woman.
Let her dream, for she's a child
Encouragement to let her continue dreaming like an innocent child.
Let the rain fall down upon her
To allow life's challenges to fall upon her.
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild
Reiteration of her being a free-spirited and gentle wildflower.
Let her cry, for she's a lady (she's a lady)
Repeated encouragement to let her express her emotions.
Let her dream, for she's a child
Repeated encouragement to let her continue dreaming.
Let the rain fall down upon her
Repeated request to let life's difficulties fall upon her.
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild
Reiteration of her being a free-spirited and gentle wildflower.
She's a flower growing wild
Final reaffirmation of her wild and untamed nature.
