You ask me                                                                                                       to meet you
At the "y"                                                                                                        in the road
So there I'll                                                                                                  be waiting
Wishing, hoping                                                                                ...eyes closed
You arrive and I let                                                                       you pick which way
to go Two roads:                                                                    The first is filled
with gingerbread                                                                 houses, wonders and
gold's Everything                                                             magical and pleasant
imaginable "Pick                                                that road" I urge The
second has lions                                            tigers and bears Led
by a yellow brick                                       road Despite my pleas
You pick the second                                        path grabbing my hand
So you can show                                         There's nothing to be
afraid of while you're                                  by my side The lion's use
their growl to                             intimidate You hold onto
my hand tight saying                      "It's all fake" And we run
right by The tigers            use their eyes to make me cry
You wipe my tears from my face saying "You
have nothing to fear when you're with me,
not even in this place" And we jog right on
by The bears use their claws to break us
apart You wrap your arms around me
saying "We'll never part, fate brought
us together and that's where we'll
stay" And we walk right on by "I
wasn't even afraid" You explain
"That's because I protect your
heart as you do mine. I'd
never let anything
happen to you,
your life is mine"
And happily ever
after Holding hands
We skip into the night
