Lyrics
Pressure's high on every side
Pushin' us to compromise
Hard to find the truth within a complicated web of lies
Labeling the other as a common enemy
Promisin' fulfillment when the end is incomplete
Chalk it up to greed, calling selfishness a need
Choose to be accepted or to live in authenticity
And round, and round
And round, and round the world goes
We're still lookin' for your yellow brick road
Dear Dorothy, I gotta tell ya
We're not in Kansas anymore
Follow the way of love
And it'll lead you home
Dear Dorothy, I gotta tell ya
We're in a time like none before
Follow the way of love
And it'll lead you home
And it'll lead you home
It'll lead you home
And it'll lead you home
Wear a face so brave and bold
Scared to death of growing old
Life is overwhelming while success is being bought and sold
So we lose our minds to our tiny screens
Filtering reality for all the World to see
Yeah, we gotta be quick. That devil's pretty slick
Tellin' us to look out for ourselves, it's a dirty trick
And round, and round
And round, and round the world goes
We're still lookin' for our yellow brick road
Dear Dorothy, I gotta tell ya
We're not in Kansas anymore
Follow the way of love
And it'll lead you home
Dear Dorothy, I gotta tell ya
We're in a time like none before
Follow the way of love
And it'll lead you home
And it'll lead you home
It'll lead you home
And it'll lead you home
If we can't count on what we got
Then we look for what we're not
What we really want is right here where we are
You'll find that Greater Love
Living deep inside your heart
Got some wisdom I can lend
Don't need to be a psychic, friend
Listen to your heart and you rise above a bitter end
Don't buy the propaganda that love is obsolete
It is the one thing that'll make your life complete
Ya we have to be tough. The road's a little rough
If we're lookin' out for one another, it'll be enough
And round, and round
And round, and round the world will go
We'll have each other on our yellow brick road
Dear Dorothy, I gotta tell ya
We're not in Kansas anymore
Follow the way of love
And it'll lead you home
Dear Dorothy, I gotta tell ya
We're in a time like none before
Follow the way of love
And it'll lead you home
And it'll lead you home
It'll lead you home
And it'll lead you home
It's gonna lead you home
It'll lead you home
And it'll lead you home
