    Verse 1

    I see this fantasy Taking me D MINOR
    from Kansas To serenity F MAJOR
    These dreams seem to come G MINOR
    from somewhere over the rainbow A MINOR
    These days seasons change D MINOR
    Just as quickly as a harmony F MAJOR
    I need to escape to awaken G MINOR
    A believable journey... A MINOR

    chorus

    I know D MINOR
    How possible F MAJOR
    We are Bb MAJOR
    We can go and
    Achieve the inconceivable A MINOR
    I know how possible D MINOR
    We are F MAJOR
    We can follow Bb MAJOR
    Our own yellow brick road A MAJOR

    Verse 2

    Pressing on in the eyes
    of a wise man's conspiracy
    I come alive to acieve
    The spoken prophesy

    My friends wonder how I know
    When-- the storm is coming
    And I'm grateful for the moments
    That we build-- to become the
    Creators of shakers
    And movers Of the melody
    We building our community
    YEAH!

    chorus

    I know
    Just How possible
    We are
    We can go and
    Achieve the unbelievable
    I know
    Just how possible
    We are
    We can follow
    Our own yellow brick road

    Bridge

    bum bah dum bah dum dah dum D MINOR / F MAJOR
    bum bah dum bah dum dah dum Bb MAJOR / A MINOR
    bum bah dum bah dum dah dum D MINOR / F MAJOR
    There's no tornado Bb MAJOR
    That can stop us now

    Verse 3

    Pressing on in the eyes
    Of the child that's inside of me
    I believe the time has come
    for us to choose our unity
    each moment that we speak of the path that will guide us to our dream
    we can sing another song
    That makes us feel we belong

    Like we belong
    Like we know we belong... yeah
    This is where we belong
    We Belong on this Yellow Brick Road

    Yeah …
    This is where we belong
    We Belong on this Yellow Brick Road


    Outro

    I know just how possible
    We are
    We can follow
    Our own yellow brick road

    bum bah dum bah dum dah dum
    bum bah dum bah dum dah dum
