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
