The Wiz

The Wiz: The Super Soul Musical "Wonderful Wizard of Oz" is a musical with music and lyrics by Charlie Smalls (and others) and book by William F. Brown. It is a retelling of L. Frank Baum's classic 1900 children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in the context of modern African-American culture. It opened on October 21, 1974 at the Morris A. Mechanic Theatre in Baltimore, Maryland and moved to the Majestic Theatre with a new cast on January 5, 1975. The 1975 Broadway production won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. It was an early example of Broadway's mainstream acceptance of works with an all-black cast.

Lord, where do I go…
LORD. WHERE. DO. I. GO.

Things change but it all feel the same
Can't keep switching lanes
Lord please show me the way
I'm talkin' north south east west
Up down right left
Don't know where to go
Like I'm stuck up in a hole
I need direction
Losing time man I'm losing my mind
Gotta stay on da grind
Lord please show me the signs
I'm talkin' north south east west
Up down right left
Don't know where to go
Like I'm stuck up in a hole
I need direction

Been off the map for a while but now I'm back
And got my GPS intact, and on a platinum tank of gas
I keep it loaded on da wax with that combustion on tracks
Yeah on the last I lit the match it's time to burn another batch
Straight dash - not an option when your obstacles evolving
And you keep on facing problems some of which never resolved
And you be longing for your calling steady running out of causes
Empty pockets, children starving, think the world got me in bondage
Caught in the struggle a tug o' war the devil can't win
Got my foot on the pedal set my destination
Livin""Jesus take the wheel"", crush these serpents on your heel
be a light unto my path, see these demons speeding fast
Give me direction!

Things change but it all feel the same
Can't keep switching lanes
Lord please show me the way
I'm talkin' north south east west
Up down right left
Don't know where to go
Like I'm stuck up in a hole
I need direction
Losing time man I'm losing my mind
Gotta stay on da grind
Lord please show me the signs
I'm talkin' north south east west
Up down right left
Don't know where to go
Like I'm stuck up in a hole
I need direction

Suicide they call it a suicide 
Saying my people kill each other so why can't you and I
Reporting live from the mouse traps of mazes & mirages
Camouflaging our freedoms, misdirection at the finest
To be honest, we all lost, y'all compass be way off
Seen people down the wrong road end up at the graveyard
It feel like NASCAR how we pass the same spots
Used to be where we grew up, now it's where homie got popped
Father God how can this be, all this pain and all this grief
World don't give a damn bout me, want me dead up in the street
But I take objection, we marching on get the stepping
Christ I'm reppin, till my death and intercessions for the rest
WE NEED DIRECTION!!

Things change but it all feel the same
Can't keep switching lanes
Lord please show me the way
I'm talkin' north south east west
Up down right left
Don't know where to go
Like I'm stuck up in a hole
I need direction
Losing time man I'm losing my mind
Gotta stay on da grind
Lord please show me the signs
I'm talkin' north south east west
Up down right left
Don't know where to go
Like I'm stuck up in a hole
I need direction

Things change but it all feel the same
Can't keep switching lanes
Lord please show me the way
I'm talkin' north south east west
Up down right left
Don't know where to go
Like I'm stuck up in a hole
I need direction
Losing time man I'm losing my mind
Gotta stay on da grind
Lord please show me the signs
I'm talkin' north south east west
Up down right left
Don't know where to go
Like I'm stuck up in a hole
I need direction

Yeah I need a new location
Movin' like migration
Stay in animation
That's for all creation
'Cause...

Things change but it all feel the same
Can't keep switching lanes
Lord please show me the way
I need direction ayy
I need direction ayy
I need direction ayy
I need direction ayy

Losing time man I'm losing my mind
Gotta stay on da grind
Lord please show me the signs
I need direction ayy
I need direction ayy
I need direction ayy
I need direction ayy
