Blindman's Burden
Music and Lyrics by Carole and Ron Ciancioso
Verse 1
Over the rainbow where the birds fly
The storm’s truth can’t be denied
If you want to know what fate awaits you
Now, is the time open your eyes.
As he sets out on his journey
Yellow bricks that lead the way
To the shining gleams of emerald city
With help from friends along the way
Empty eyes reveal the ruse
Darkness falls, light removed
Blindman’s burden…blindman’s burden
The witches will fly… the witches will fly
Behind that curtain… behind that curtain
The wizards will hide… the wizards will hide
Just like a fish outta water
The blindman begins to plead his case
If you’re, in fact, the mighty wizard
Now’s the time to show your face
The wizard was only an illusion
Meant to justify your dreams
Which only added to my confusion
Some things are just not what they seem
