There may be no end to makin' those same mistakes again Nobody can sail your ship Nobody can guide you in Some people just keep the hammer down Never look up 'til they're too old Never to know the sweet waters flow You'll hear whispers tellin' lies About what's wrong and what is right See a bright light shinin' But it's cold as night So look down that yellow brick road It might glitter but it's not gold It dosen't go where the sweet waters flow Around the river's bend, just beyond the rainbow's end If you don't lose your way you just might go Life sometimes goes from mean to mean With just hard times in between One day we'll go where the sweet waters flow
