Wizard of Oz

On my road to see the Wizard of Oz
I've stopped at many places
Suddenly turned into each character
Survived each one of their Faces

My life has turned 360
Now I'm a light giver
The Wizard gave me some hope
I'll Stand and deliver

Now I can see the light in others
That they refuse to see
I can offer some words of kindness
To evolve in this century

It's not about anger and pain
I'm not a victim anymore
I'm finished with my rusty chains
I left them on your shore

Now I am an anchor
An example I will make
No one will be shipwrecked
My solid ground it doesn't shake

So when your off to see the Wizard of Oz
Don't forget to ask
To be stripped of your alter ego
Not come out in another Mask!
