Wildflower

I grew up where the pavement ends, Where the dirt roads bend and the river sings. With muddy knees and messy hair, Running free without a care. City lights, they call my name, Pull me out into the game. Traded trees for towers high, almost forgot the open Sky. But late at night when silence falls, I hear the wind between the walls. Calling me back to where I started, Back to the wild and broken-hearted. I'm a wildflower growing through the concrete. Finding sunlight on this empty street. I'm a wildflower, can't you see? You can take the girl out of the wild, But you can't take the wild out of me. People here, they move so fast. Building futures, building past. I'm just trying to catch my breath in a World that loves success. They want diamonds, want the shine. Want the labels, want the lines. I just want a patch of green and a Sky that I have seen. And late at night when I'm alone, I feel the pull back to my home. To the place where I began, to the girl Who ran. I'm a wildflower growing through the concrete. Finding sunlight on this empty street. I'm a wildflower, can't you see? You can take the girl out of the wild, But you can't take the wild out of me. Dandelion in the wind. Letting go and starting again. Seeds of me will always fly up Into that endless sky. I am earth and I am air. I am more than this despair. I am rooted, I am free. I am exactly where I'm meant to be. I'm a wildflower growing through the concrete. Finding sunlight on this empty street. I'm a wildflower, can't you see? You can take the girl out of the wild, But you can't take the wild out of me. Wild out of Me. Wild out of me. You can take the girl, but you can't take The wild, Wild out of me.
