Dorothy's Shoes
So I'll struggle in the water like an animal from land. Kick my feet and try to swim, let's see if I can. I would try to fly away but I'm not Peter Pan. No, no, no. No, no, no..

We click like Dorothy's shoes. They say fit in, we refuse. I'm with you to hold you, not to hold you back. We click like Dorothy's. They say fit in, we refuse. I'm with you to learn you, I want to learn you well.

When this is all over will you come back to me. Dressed in your skin and your victory. Because you hopped on a plane and you just floated away. Even though I begged you, I said please stay. You said no, no, no. No, no, no..

We click like Dorothy's shoes. They say fit in, we refuse. I'm with you to hold you, not to hold you back. We click like Dorothy's. They say fit in, we refuse. I'm with you to learn you, I want to learn you well.

Not your average cookie cutter people. Save you hopes and your dreams and your faith and your love for the steeple.

So I'll scorch in the flames like an arm from a tree. If I stay here long enough I just might glimpse eternity. I guess I could fall like ice from the sky. When I hit the ground I might crack but I promise you I won't die. No, no, no. No, no, no..

We click like Dorothy's shoes. They say fit in, we refuse. I'm with you to hold you, not to hold you back. We click like Dorothy's. They say fit in, we refuse. I'm with you to learn you, I want to learn you well.

Not your average cookie cutter people.
