03 The Sands of Time: An Oz Tale - The Road Ahead - Journey to Oz

[Intro] [Verse 1 - Soft female solo (Dorothy), clear and confident] The path is dark, the air is cold, But I’ll keep walking, strong and bold. A land of dreams calls out to me, Through every shadow, there’s hope to see. [Chorus - Soft female solo (Dorothy) and (Scarecrow’s) soft tenor solo, harmonizing with determination] Step by step, we’ll light the way, Through endless night to break the day. Together strong, we’ll right the wrong, The magic of Oz will live in our song. [Verse 2 - (Scarecrow’s) soft tenor solo, warm and encouraging] The trees may whisper, the wind may moan, But none of us will face this alone. We’ll find the courage, the heart, the key, And bring back the land that we long to see. [Chorus - Both, with stronger harmony and tambourine accentuating rhythm] Step by step, we’ll light the way, Through endless night to break the day. Together strong, we’ll right the wrong, The magic of Oz will live in our song. [Bridge - Soft female solo (Dorothy) and (Scarecrow’s) soft tenor solo alternately, reflective and hopeful] [Dorothy:] The stars above may fade to grey, But we will find a brighter day. [Scarecrow:] Through every twist, through every bend, We’ll walk together till the end. [Final Chorus - Full, triumphant with both voices and swelling orchestration] Step by step, we’ll light the way, Through endless night to break the day. Together strong, we’ll right the wrong, The magic of Oz will live in our song. [End ]
