[Verse 1] She was never made for gardens With their perfect little rows She was made for open fields Where no one tells her how to grow For the places no one planted For the corners left alone She has always made things beautiful Everywhere she’s ever grown [Pre-Chorus] And the rain has surely found her More than anybody knows Still she lifts her face toward heaven Every time the sunlight shows [Chorus] She belongs among the wildflowers Where the beautiful things grow free With the wind tangled in her hair And the whole sky at her feet She’s been bent beneath the weather She’s had petals torn away Still she comes back wearing colors No storm could ever take She was never meant to bloom like someone else She belongs among the wildflowers [Verse 2] There are pieces of her story She still wishes she could change Seasons when the world was cruel And left bruises like stains She has bloomed in fields abandoned Found the sun through tangled weeds Made a home in hardened places No one thought could carry seeds [Pre-Chorus] There’s a beauty in her freedom In the way she won’t be tamed Every season leaves its colors But her wildness stays the same [Chorus] She belongs among the wildflowers Where the beautiful things grow free With the wind tangled in her hair And the whole sky at her feet She’s been bent beneath the weather She’s had petals torn away Still she comes back wearing colors No storm could ever take She was never meant to bloom like someone else She belongs among the wildflowers [Bridge] Somewhere underneath her ribcage There’s a field no hurt could find Where the wind still moves like freedom And the flowers all grow wild Life has left its marks upon her Changed the shape of how she grew But it never touched the beauty That the storms could not undo [Final Chorus] She belongs among the wildflowers With their colors running free Every crooked stem beside her Growing just as it should be She has worn a hundred seasons Still there’s summer in her soul Life has changed the way she blossoms But it never made her small She belongs among the wildflowers Where the untamed things belong She’s a wildflower She was one all along
