Why this day of all days
Was the Wizard out of town
When Dorthy and her three friends
Decided to roll around

They came in search of wisdom
And asked for my advice
My only hope in all of this
Is that I steered them right

To the Tin Man I told him
That he already has a heart
That it's made from pure gold
And shines as bright as a star

He may not always feel
It beating inside of his chest
But you can see in his love for others
That it's in there none the less

And the Cowardly Lion
To him I kindly said
It takes tons of courage these days
To even get out of bed

And when it is you fall and you will
Pick yourself right back up
That's the kind of courage
That I'm speaking of

Then came time for the Scarecrow
Who felt the need for a brain
So I told him that intelligence
Does not always a brain make

It might help solve some problems
But does not always think
If you want true wisdom
Take that from off the street

Then there was sweet Dorthy
Who in truth felt all alone
Needing herself a place
That she could call a home

I told her to have courage
And follow through with her heart
And if she truly thinks about it
Home is right where you are

My new friends they all thanked me
And went along their merry way
My only hope is I did a good enough job
Of playing Wizard that day
