The sun was so much warmer then
Golden rays dance through the leaves across my cheeks
Rubber boots and snakeskins in the summer breeze
The Emerald City sparkled there
A gift for brothers three
We had no need for distant lands
Pecans among the yellow bricks beneath our feet
Soaring without training wheels, forever death we'd cheat
All I ever needed
Right next to me
And now I see that those days have passed me by
I sit and I wonder why
Oh why
And Though our time as as a trio may be through
I'll always care for you
That was back when we began
The yellow road through poppy fields forked into three
We're gonna make it big someday, then you'll see
With brains and hearts and courage
The Wizard set us free
And now I see that those days have passed me by
I sit and I wonder why
Oh why
And Though our time as as a trio may be through
I'll always care for you
I wish I could go back again
There's no place like home, not here, not Tennessee
We're not in Kansas anymore, my memories
Float around in bubbles
To fill the space between
The sun was so much warmer then
Time the Great and Terrible gave his decree
The Scarecrow and the Tin-Man got what they both need
The Emerald City sparkled once
Now all it is, is green
