I wandered down that yellow road
With rusted joints and heavy load
Searching for what made life start
Thought I was missin' just a heart
Wind blew through that Kansas night
Stars above were shining bright
Met a lion on that quest
Told me courage in my chest
Felt like a tin man all this time
Searching for a heartbeat, losing rhyme
But life has shown me, plain to see
The heart I sought was always here in me
Through the rain and through the shine
Each lesson learned, a stitch in time
The oil can of friends I've known
Helped me mend and call my own
Found that heart I thought was steel
With every joy and pain I'd feel
It's gonna be okay, I swear
Love's been here, it's everywhere
Felt like a tin man all this time
Searching for a heartbeat, losing rhyme
But life has shown me, plain to see
The heart I sought was always here in me
Felt like a tin man all this time
Searching for a heartbeat, losing rhyme
But life has shown me, plain to see
The heart I sought was always here in me (in me)
Through the rain and through the shine
Each lesson learned, a stitch in time
The oil can of friends I've known
Helped me mend and call my own
Found that heart I thought was steel
With every joy and pain I'd feel
It's gonna be okay, I swear
Love's been here, it's everywhere
Felt like a tin man all this time
Searching for a heartbeat, losing rhyme
But life has shown me, plain to see
The heart I sought was always here in me.
