[Verse 1] I found you by the fence line In a field of busted glass Purple heads and golden faces Turning with the grass Your roots went down in red dirt Your feet in morning rain You grew where the road had broken And called that place your name [Pre-Chorus] Oh, you don’t ask permission You don’t wait for spring You bloom in the hard places And make the whole world sing [Chorus] Wildflowers, wildflowers Cover up the gray Wildflowers, wildflowers Teach the world to stay Oh, you rise, you rise Where the rough wind blows Wildflowers, wildflowers That’s how healing grows [Verse 2] My hands were full of worry My heart was full of stone Then I saw you in the ditch there Not afraid alone A patch of blue and yellow On an old forgotten bend Like little acts of mercy Coming back again [Pre-Chorus] Oh, you don’t ask permission You don’t wait for spring You bloom in the hard places And make the whole world sing [Chorus] Wildflowers, wildflowers Cover up the gray Wildflowers, wildflowers Teach the world to stay Oh, you rise, you rise Where the rough wind blows Wildflowers, wildflowers That’s how healing grows [Bridge] Let the plow mark circles Let the storm roll through Something small and stubborn Still will carry you If the ground is only broken That’s where seed can lean And from the cracks and gravel Comes the brightest green [Chorus] Wildflowers, wildflowers Cover up the gray Wildflowers, wildflowers Teach the world to stay Oh, you rise, you rise Where the rough wind blows Wildflowers, wildflowers That’s how healing grows
