Yellow Brick Road

As I put on the sandals made of red

I embark on a journey where the past I’ve shed

I follow the yellow brick road

It twists and turns, windless and winds

Around the bend and toward the skies

Over the seas and into a new land

With my family hand in hand

I follow the yellow brick road

And on this road I find a ball

That entertains me through it all

I share and play with those around

Through the air or on the ground

Kicking, hitting, bouncing, throwing it up and down

I follow the yellow brick road

As I walk I meet a fork

And don’t know which way to go

But which ever way I go

I know I’ll find

The place I want to end in space and time

So I take a left and keep my course

As I follow the yellow brick road

I encounter on my voyage there

People that can help me bear

The burden that I care

Of all the deaths I’ve seen

On the path that I have been

I follow the yellow brick road

I reach a high and reach and low

Nevertheless I know where I shall go

I hit some bumps and fall right down

But always get up and never frown

I follow the yellow brick road

As I see the road comes to an end

I look at myself as an old man

Searching this whole time

To find my place, to find my life

To do what’s right, to claim what’s mine

I’ve been on the road this whole time

On the road of my life

And on this road I have found

The person I am on this humble ground

And as I dig my grave so deep

I know I cannot go to sleep

All the unfinished things I still have to do

The questions, answers, and all things new

So I put on the sandals made of red

As a new road appears where the past I’ve shed

The sins I’ve gathered

I follow the yellow brick road
