James LaBrie - Wildflower

She's got a letter in her pocket but she don't know why
And father's picture in her locket always makes her cry

Yet she grows
Like a wildflower
And she glows
Like a moonlit beam

Her words they resonate
But not for pity's sake
They turn her world upside down
Yet she remains to stand so tall
And smiles through it all

Though the truth reads hard
It hardens not her heart
She's not the type to sink or drown
And with no one to break her fall
She smiles through it all

She searches deep inside for a reason why
They built their life on trust and all that's left is the lies

Yet she grows
Like a wildflower
And she ghosts
Through old memories

Her words they resonate
But not for pity's sake
They turn her world upside down
Yet she remains to stand so tall
And smiles through it all

Though the truth reads hard
It hardens not her heart
She's not the type to sink or drown
And with no one to break her fall
She smiles through it all

Word by word
Every single one absurd
Just like a bolt right outta the blue
It crushed the only life she knew

Did they ever stop to think
That this could put her on the brink
Of falling deeper down the hole
And kill her spirit and her soul
They left her mystified
They left her terrified
And alone
