about

The song is inspired by one of my favorite childhood movies, Wizard of Oz. It's about how as people we each have something we wish we had, maybe to have more courage, a stronger heart or to seem more intelligent but in reality, what we are seeking & what the characters in the movie were after, already lied in side of them & in us if we just look!

lyrics

The old house was creaking
When the wind of change
Came rushing in
And they were seeking
What already lived inside them

For The Tin Man wanted a heart
And The Scarecrow wanted a brain
And The Cowardly Lion wanted courage
To face the day

They walked the Yellow Brick Road
As a young girl searched for home
The air above was thick & green
No rainbow or blue birds to be seen

Ruby shoes gave her in confidence
Just to realize the evidence
She stood the test of time
In the city of lies

For The Tin Man wanted a heart
And The Scarecrow wanted a brain
And The Cowardly Lion wanted courage
To face the day

For The Tin Man wanted a heart
And The Scarecrow wanted a brain
And The Cowardly Lion wanted courage
To face the day

As the end drew near
It became obvious
That what was wanted you had
Oh, it lied inside

For The Tin Man had a heart
And The Scarecrow had a brain
And The Cowardly Lion had courage
And the young girl returned home
