Soft like wildflowers by rivers and streams

Thoughts washing over me like the stuff of my dreams

And I see it coming true

We'll be soft like you, we'll be soft like you

Hey, do you wanna be

Or don't you wanna be

Soft like me

Hey, do you wanna be

Or don't you wanna be

Soft like me

I used to wonder why big boys don't cry

'Cause they were always taught to hold it deep inside

Hide the feelings, they bubble to the top when it's all going off

Better put 'em up, let 'em know you're tough

And remember they won't take backtalk

Then you should never let them walk

And son, if you run back to me defenseless

Then, boy, I'm a wanna beat you senseless

And that's daddy doing what he can

To make that boy a man, I have a different plan

Baby, I'll encourage you to be expressive not aggressive

More soft around the edges just like me

Hey, do you wanna be

Or don't you wanna be

Soft like me

Hey, do you wanna be

Or don't you wanna be

Soft like me

Little girls are made of everything nice, we pay the price

For wearing hearts on sleeves, I still believes

We hold the key to the better way to be

With feminine energy I touch the universe

But what came first was peace to all mankind

But in this time and a hard life I'm having a hard time

With growing a thick skin 'cause I soak up all the hurt

And hold it all within and I've been this way from day

I never got no hugs when I fell down in the play ground

Maybe it would be different now

But how a mother's love gave so much to us, too

Made us soft but strong just like you

I see it coming true, we'll be soft like you

Hey, do you wanna be

Or don't you wanna be

Soft like me

Hey, do you wanna be

Or don't you wanna be

Soft like me

Yeah, you're a tough guy and a hard knot

Say you wanna do it, oh but a big butt

Scared to get into it 'cause when you gave your love and trust

Your heart got crushed, in a rush

Head got twisted up, files went corrupt, your system overload

As you went chugging down that lovely road

You could take the physical blows but emotional lows

Left him on the ropes

Somehow she always copes with the pain

And comes back again

Like, yeah, you know me, girl stay ready for the world

From the red corner, stay warmer

Born in optimistic hoping that his heart will open

Hey, do you wanna be

Or don't you wanna be

Soft like me

Hey, do you wanna be

Or don't you wanna be

Soft like me

Hey, do you wanna be

Or don't you wanna be

Soft like me
