Lyrics

I have lived as a garden rose, it is the only life I've known
I've felt the touch of tending hands, I get my rain from a watering can

Now from the time I was a seed, I have had everything I need
And I grew strong and I grew tall, until the day I saw past the garden wall

Now tell me something little wildflower
Can't you make some room for me?
Cause I will climb out of this garden
And put my feet down in the weeds

I always thought that my life was enough, till I saw your face so brilliant and so rough
You were shining right back up at the whole sky, handing out smiles, travelers passing by

Now tell me something, little wildflower
Can't you make some room for me?
Cause I will climb out of this garden
And I will lay down in the weeds

And if an acorn becomes an oak tree, caterpillar makes a butterfly
Then tell me one good reason a rose should not become a weed by and by

Cause don't the sunshine lay the brightest on the shoulders of the wild?
And don't the breeze lay the sweetest on the face of its own child?

And tell me something, little wildflower
Have you made some room for me?
Cause I will leave this wall forever
A little wildflower I will be
Two little wildflowers we will be
