They pass you by along the highway All your colors magic, rivaling the sky I know you feel cast aside, unseen and stained I know it feels tragic Waiting in the by-and-by Let me count the ways Pluck the petals just to see another day Wildflower, wildflower Don't let 'em tell you what to do or who to be Don't hide away in your tower Come a little closer to me Come a little closer to me ♪ A butterfly finds you there Patiently waiting, an accident in time Meant to be, rain or shine And you're aware your moment is fading Underneath the sky Make it count today You know best that nothing gold is meant to stay Wildflower, wildflower Don't let 'em tell you what to do or who to be Don't hide away in your tower Come a little closer to me Come a little closer to me ♪ Make it count today You know best that nothing gold is meant to stay Wildflower, wildflower Don't let 'em tell you what to do or who to be Don't hide away in your tower Come a little closer to me Come a little closer to me
