Well I'm off to see the wizard in his castle on the hill
And I never once have known him and I do not know him still
Because his face it is magnificent but you'll never see his hands
And the way he throws his voice around I don't know where he stands

Well I'm off to see the wizard with his curtain and his crowd
But my hands are not trembling and my head it is not bowed
'Cause I'm not looking for any answers, no truths to be revealed
All that I am asking is to show me something real

'Cause I'm not on no yellow brick road
Got a mind and a heart and guts of my own
I'm not looking for a one to set me free
I'm not on no yellow brick road
I'll find my own way home
I'm just looking for someone to walk with me

And hey you behind the curtain tell me what is it you see
From where you sit does it appear that everyone is on their knees?
Their eyes are wide and hopeful and the line grows at the door
Do you sit up there and wonder how you'll ever give them more?

Well I'm not on no yellow brick road
Got a mind and a heart and guts of my own
I'm not looking for a one to set me free
I'm not on no yellow brick road
I'll find my own way home
I'm just looking for, looking for, I'm looking for someone

Don't say that it's not lonely up above the crowd
Don't tell me you don't find yourself longing for the ground
When I asked him one more time won't you tear the curtain down
He said don't you know there's nothing here but me
And I said baby who'd you think I came to see?

I'm not on no yellow brick road
Mind and a heart and guts of my own
I'm not looking for a one to set me free
I'm not on no yellow brick road
I'll find my own way home
I'm just looking for, looking for, I'm looking for someone to walk with me
Walk with me, walk with me, walk with me
Come down and walk with me, come down and walk with me
With me yeah
