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 it's share of the rain   It needs some feeling to light   It's fiery flame again   But 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   But 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   Lot's of sunshine, there's a touch of shade      Don't, don't, don't   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 it's share of the rain   It needs some feeling to light   It's fiery flame again   But 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   Don't kill it Carol   Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow   Don't kill it Carol
