Doubting Dorothy


I'm not in Kansas anymore

At least I have Toto

"Follow the yellow brick road to Emerald City"

Found Scarecrow, Lion, and Tin Man

They said, 'Oh no!'

When I told them 'bout the wizard in the city

They freaked out

I told them they had to come with me or I'd pass out

Had to face this fear before he made me blackout

At least I have a team to face him now

He said he was the way

Said he was the key

I found it all to be a lie

Don't know if my team will ever be okay

We can't decide to give up based on what others say

The team and I muster up the courage to go and tell this "wizard" straight

We showed him up

Proved he is not what he claimed to be

This is when I got the power up

Told the world that the "wizard" was jast a wannabe

I knew this man was odd, had to be a fraud

Because after all, he was a mortal playing the role of God.
