Still Growing Wild Dolly Parton

[Verse 1] Grandma used to tell me, "Child, the road gets rough," You'll meet some cold-hearted people, and you'll feel like giving up. But the sun keeps rising over every broken field, And the strongest flowers bloom where the hardest winters healed. I've cried in the kitchen, prayed on the porch, Watched dreams burn down and found a brand-new torch. Life kept teaching lessons I didn't want to learn, But every scar became a page I could turn. [Pre-Chorus] The wind may shake the branches, But it can't steal the roots. [Chorus] I'm still growing wild, still reaching for the sky, Still believing in tomorrow when today makes me cry. Still carrying hope through the valleys and storms, Still finding my strength in all my imperfect forms. The world can keep on changing, But my heart still knows the way. I'm still growing wild, One beautiful day at a time. [Verse 2] I've met people shining like a Tennessee moon, And others disappeared just as quick as they came through. Some left me memories, some left me pain, But every goodbye taught me how to dance in the rain. There's a girl in the mirror I barely recognize, She's survived her own battles, she's learned to compromise. Not with who she is, but with what she can't control, She's learning that peace is an inside job for the soul. [Pre-Chorus] The river keeps on flowing, No matter where it's been. [Chorus] I'm still growing wild, still reaching for the sky, Still believing in tomorrow when today makes me cry. Still carrying hope through the valleys and storms, Still finding my strength in all my imperfect forms. The world can keep on changing, But my heart still knows the way. I'm still growing wild, One beautiful day at a time. [Bridge] So here's to the dreamers, the fighters, the hearts that break, The ones who keep believing when every road starts to shake. Here's to the daughters and mothers holding on through the night, Finding a little more courage with every morning light. [Final Chorus] I'm still growing wild, still singing through the rain, Turning every hard goodbye into a sweet refrain. Still carrying faith when I can't see the end, Trusting every winding road is leading somewhere again. The mountains may be higher, But I ain't afraid to climb. I'm still growing wild, One beautiful day at a time. [Outro] The wind may blow, the seasons may change, But this heart keeps blooming just the same. Still growing wild... Still growing wild... One beautiful day at a time.
