i wanna live like a wildflower
findin my place in the golden sun
sittin on the banks of the okichobe
watchin that river run
where's that girl that ran barefoot
chasin the wind and the butterflies
tellin her secrets to the calico cat
that cat never heard no lies
grandma's apron full of blackberries
sayin get your bucket and a come on child
wash your hands its time for supper
clean you face but dont touch that smile
kiss on the cheek and off to bed
nightlights on and the bibles read
pray the lord my soul to keep
lord keep my spirit free
i wanna live like a wildflower
findin my place in the golden sun
sittin on the banks of the okichobe
watchin that river run
run run river run
watchin that river run
where's that girl who laid in the daisies
lookin at the faces up in the clouds
dreamin of the boy she's gonna marry
where's that boy right now
come on come on go with me
to the boy and the girl we used to be
i pray the lord our souls to keep
lord keep our spirits free
we're gonna live like wildflowers
nature's daughter, nature's son
sittin on the banks of the okichobe
watchin that river run
run run river run
until this life on earth is done
then up in heaven everyone
we're gonna live like wildflowers
findin our place in the golden sun
sittin on the banks of the okichobe
watchin that river run
and the others say
run run river run
dancin at the beat of a fathers son
all gods children havin so much fun
watchin that river run
i'm gonna live like a wildflower,,
we're gonna live like wildflowers,,
we're all gonna live like wildflowers watchin that river run,,
