As I walk back down
That yellow brick road
As the pain shoots through me
From words long ago.

I once walked away,
Full of anger and hate.
All that pain and hurt,
Always kept me awake.

As my mind drifts back,
Back to that day.
I wish I could forgive,
To go the other way.

I wish I had courage,
To turn around and say,
I forgive, and gave up hope,
That I could change that day.

So now as I walk down,
That yellow brick road.
I finally forgive the suffering,
From words long ago.
