Ruby Slippers
Words and music by Jynkz

This is not my beautiful life... There are times in our lives when we wonder, "what the hell happened to me, my life, my dreams?" We try to remember what used to be important and what used to make us feel unique and alive. Struggling to find who we are can be so frustrating. "How did I get here? How did this happen to me?" This song is about the desire to go look for the person you used know and love, the stranger standing in your shoes, and the dreams you left behind.

Because, because, because, because, because,
Because of the wonderful things I love.
Because, because, because, because, because,
Because of the wonderful things I love.

Put your dreams inside a box and put the box into the closet
Don't forget to turn the light off and shut the door when you go
Did you climb out of the window, run away and meet your savior?
Did you ride off in a twister to a place that's far from home?

The Devil's at your feet
Laughing in the heat
Reaching for your box of dreams

Ruby slippers take me home
Ruby slippers take me home

Because, because, because, because, because,
Because of the wonderful things I love
Because, because, because, because, because,
Because of the wonderful things I love

Are you dancing with a scarecrow or a lion or a tin man?
Skipping through the poppies, sleeping inside your shoes?
Find a place over the rainbow there's a wizard deep inside you
Use your brain to find the courage to listen to the heart in you

The Devil's at your feet
Laughing in the heat
Reaching for your box of dreams

Ruby slippers take me home
Ruby slippers take me home
Ruby slippers take me home
Ruby slippers take me home
Because, because, because, because, because,
Because of the wonderful things I love
Because, because, because, because, because…

This yellow road is long
Don't know which way to go
I got my slippers on
Just wanna get back home

The Devil's at your feet
Laughing in the heat
Reaching for your box of dreams

Ruby slippers take me home
Ruby slippers take me home
Ruby slippers take me home
Ruby slippers take me home
Because…
