Wow, this song came at just the right time in my life. I’ve lately become so fed up with pretending that life is always beautiful and that we are always strong. These words made the whole problem so much more real and, I believe, made the solution clear to me.

Yellow Brick Road

Someone tell me
Why is it always so hard?
To open up, to let it out
To bare our hearts
O, someone give me
A reason why
We hide our every weakness
We feel as though
Feigned confidence is strength

When will we stop this pretending?
These wounds we are hiding throb painfully still
Does this yellow brick road lead to our happy ending?
Or are we just searching to find one that will?

O, how this world pulls us
To follow its road
To seek for approval
Sticking to the status quo
Yet if we show ourselves
To be who we truly are
If we reveal our failings
If we open to our scars

We have no guarantee
It will be easy
But, only when we let go
Do we find healing

When will we stop this pretending?
These wounds we are hiding throb painfully still
Does this yellow brick road lead to our happy ending?
Or are we just searching to find one that will?
One yellow brick road
One yellow brick road
Does this yellow brick road lead to our happy ending?
Or are we just searching to find one that will?
