Wildflowers
The Trio Lyrics

The hills were alive with wildflowers and I
I was surrounded by wildflowers on the hills, and I was just as wild as they were.

Was as wild, even wilder than they
I was even wilder and free-spirited than the wildflowers.

For at least I could run
Unlike the wildflowers, I could at least run and move around freely.

They just died in the sun
The wildflowers were confined to their place, and they eventually died in the hot sun.

And I refused to just wither in place
I did not want to be trapped and constrained in one place, like the wildflowers.

Just a wild mountain rose
I was like a wild rose, growing on the mountain, free and unrestrained.

Needing freedom to grow
I needed freedom and space to grow, just like the wildflowers.

So I ran fearing not where I'd go
I took off and ran without fear, not knowing where my path would lead me.

When a flower grows wild
Wildflowers are able to grow freely, without any human intervention or control.

It can always survive
Wildflowers are strong and resilient, and can survive in any environment.

Wildflowers don't care where they grow
Wildflowers are not concerned with their location or surroundings, as they are able to thrive anywhere.

And the flowers I knew
The other flowers that I knew and grew up with.

In the fields where I grew
The fields where I grew up and spent my childhood.

Were content to be lost in the crowd
The other flowers were okay with blending in and being just like everyone else.

They were common and close
The other flowers were common and didn't stand out, unlike me.

I had no room for growth
I felt boxed in and limited by my surroundings, and needed more space to grow and thrive.

And I wanted so much to branch out
I desired to spread my wings and explore new things, unlike the other flowers.

So I uprooted myself from my home ground and left
I left my familiar surroundings and took off on my own journey.

Took my dreams and I took to the road
I pursued my dreams and hit the road, without looking back or regretting my decision.

I grew up fast and wild
I matured quickly and lived life to the fullest, without any constraints.

And I never felt right
I never felt like I belonged in the traditional garden setting.

In a garden so different from me
The structured, confined garden environment was not suited for my wild and free spirit.

I just never belonged
I always felt like an outsider and never fit in with the other flowers.

I just longed to be gone
I yearned to be free and explore new places.

So the garden one day set me free
The garden and its confines finally let me go, allowing me to live my life my own way.

I hitched a ride with the wind
I went wherever the wind took me, on my own journey.

And since he was my friend
The wind was my friend and companion along my journey.

I just let him decide where we'd go
I trusted the wind to guide me to new places and experiences.

Just a wild rambling rose seeking mysteries untold
I was a free, wild rose seeking new adventures and experiences.

No regret for the path that I chose
I have no regrets about the path I chose to take in life, free and unrestrained.
