We're Not In Kansas Anymore
A love story
I feel like Dorothy
Between Kansas and Oz
Stuck in a tornado
Whirling without pause
I feel safe here
Within the wind
Knowing my adventure
Is about to begin
I am not holding back
But reaching for the sky
Grabbing for the rainbow
Aiming so very high
I know Oz is out there
I read so in books
I just want to see so
And have one look
When this wind came along
I jumped in
Hoping it would take me
Along within
Now I am floating
Through the sky
Floating toward Oz
Way up so high
I want to ensure
This isn't a dream
And I won't wake up
Where everything will seem
So bland and empty
Hollow and bare
Like the Kansas I left
Before I cared
