This wild rose that I hold in my hand
It's the strangest thing I've seen
One bud only just started to show
And the leaves are the lightest green
It's had its share of the rain
It needs some feeling to light its fiery flame again
One cruel lie and it could die
Don't kill it, Carol
Oh, Carol, oh, won't you let this flower grow
Don't kill it, Carol
Oh, Carol, oh, won't you let this flower grow
Don't kill it, Carol
This wild rose that I hold in my hand
It could grow to be so strong
Born one night in the calm of the storm
It was made for a rock and roll song
It's only just seen the light
It could so easily fall back to the gentle night
One cruel lie and it could die
Don't kill it, Carol
Oh, Carol, oh, won't you let this flower grow
Don't kill it, Carol
Oh, Carol, oh, won't you let this flower grow
Don't kill it, Carol
It's looking for a place to live outside all space and time
Where there's no need for it to fade
There's a secret garden that I think we can find
Lots of sunshine, there's a touch of shade
Don't kill it, Carol
This wild rose that I hold in my hand
It's the strangest thing I've seen
One bud only just started to show
And the leaves are the lightest green
It's had its share of the rain
It needs some feeling to light its fiery flame again
One cruel lie and it could die
Don't kill it, Carol
Oh, Carol, oh, won't you let this flower grow
Don't kill it, Carol
Oh, Carol, oh, won't you let this flower grow
Don't kill it, Carol
Oh, Carol, oh, won't you let this flower grow ....
