The song, Wild Flowers by Dolly Patton reminds me of Hartola in April when wild flowers of all shapes and colours take over the entire place. It’s indeed a sight to behold!.
Check out the video. You too will definitely fall in love with Hartola a small hamlet in Uttarakhand’s Kumaon region.

Lyrics of  Wildflowers by Dolly Parton

The hills were alive with wildflowers
And I was as wild, even wilder than they
For at least I could run, they just died in the sun
And I refused to just wither in place

Just a wild mountain rose, needing freedom to grow
So I ran fearing not where I’d go
When a flower grows wild, it can always survive
Wildflowers don’t care where they grow

And the flowers I knew in the fields where I grew
Were content to be lost in the crowd
They were common and close, I had no room for growth
And I wanted so much to branch out

So I uprooted myself from my home ground and left
Took my dreams and I took to the road
When a flower grows wild, it can always survive
Wildflowers don’t care where they grow

I grew up fast and wild and I never felt right
In a garden so different from me
I just never belonged, I just longed to be gone
So the garden, one day, set me free

I hitched a ride with the wind and since he was my friend
I just let him decide where I’d go
When a flower grows wild, it can always survive
Wildflowers don’t care where they grow

Just a wild rambling rose, seeking mysteries untold
No regret for the path that I chose
When a flower grows wild, it can always survive
Wildflowers don’t care where they grow

Wildflowers don’t care where they grow
