Wild Rose Lyrics - Beautiful Life - Diane Reeves

Listen 

To the wild rose in bloom 

In her tune 

Strength and beauty 

Grow with the days unfolding 

Each layer of her perfume 

I want to move that free and full 

Like the wild rose, 

Like the wild rose 

I'd been growing happy 

In the gardens 

'Neath the open sun 

Each of my finest roses 

Trimmed and bunched into a vase 

Lovers and florists 

Flocked to buy and sell 

Till petals started falling 

From my pretty little face 

_____ ____ ___ my breath 

Big time cultivators came to counsel me 

With bouquets and tips 

About how successful plots 

Need some controls if they're to grow 

Promising next year 

If I pruned my branches and locked my hips 

I'd have more roses and more hands 

To help me reap and sow 

While they were talking 'round me 

A wild breeze wafted by 

And wrapped its song around me 

Before I crossed their dotted line 

I listened 

To the wild rose in bloom 

In her tune 

strength and beauty 

Opened my heart unfolding 

Each layer of her perfume 

And I knew I could bloom and move 

Like the wild rose 

A wild will to grow took me over 

And out grew my roots and seed 

The florists scattered 

Songs grew out of my thorns and leaves 

Never knew they mattered-- 

They matter 

To grow my Self in full 

And show out loud 

That more than pretty roses, 

Of me I'm proud 

To be that free and full 

Like the wild rose 

In my tune 

Strength and beauty 

Growing for days unfolding 

I've been growing happy 

In my fullness, stretching in the sun 

Each of my roses blooming out 

And singing their own song 

Now people passing through the gardens 

Like to stop and hear 

Some even open up and start to sing along 

For every rose still longing 

For a new breeze to come by 

Listen for the wild rose 

As she sings her song on high 

Just listen 

to the wild rose in bloom 

In her tune strength and beauty 

Grow with the days unfolding 

Each layer of her perfume 

I want to bloom that free and full 

Call me wild rose 

Call me Wild Rose
