Brand New Yellow Brick Road

A few years ago I stood at another cross road in my life.
I was very fortunate to have the guidance of a mentor who took the time to call me out on what I was doing to myself and to help me start to put one foot in front of the other and move forward again.
For a long time the only way I could set such strong feelings and powerful moments straight in my mind was to write songs.
Tonight, I share it with you.

Brand New Yellow Brick Road 
by Amy Brooke Chatwin (1st November, 2009)

Well I returned from Wonderland a year ago

With a room full of pictures and head full of dreams

Lost something and found a whole lot more

Guess the old truth wasn't what it seemed

We all fought to try and find that before time again

But it was finally over and no one saw the end

I pushed it all aside, hid the new girl deep inside

Became a blank just to survive

Somehow you saw the lost soul in my eyes

I thought I'd finally covered her up

But you saw through that disguise

I told you too many times that I was fine

You took the time to call me out on my lies

Now I'm broken but I'm building

You led me back to the beginning

Made me start again

Find out for myself just who I'm meant to be

And I'm a little scared

Will someone be there to hold my hand

Never done much alone before

What happens if I take that step

And find a world beyond all I've ever known
What if somehow I have stumbled onto

A brand new yellow brick road

If I start this journey I may never come back

What if my old dreams don't fit me when I've grown

Somehow you saw the lost soul in my eyes

I thought I'd finally covered her up

But you saw through that disguise

I told you too many times that I was fine

You took the time to call me out on my lies

Now I'm broken but I'm building

You led me back to the beginning

Made me start again

Find out for myself just who I'm meant to be

So here I am back at the beginning

Ruby slippers on the road

Starting again

With three clicks here I go.....

Somehow you saw the lost soul in my eyes

I thought I'd finally covered her up

But you saw through that disguise

I told you too many times that I was fine

You took the time to call me out on my lies

Now I'm broken but I'm building

You led me back to the beginning

Made me start again

Find out for myself just who I'm meant to be
