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
