LYRICS

Hey there, you’ve been through so much,
Carrying scars, feelin’ out of touch,
It’s easy to fall, to blame and shame,
But kindness to yourself isn’t a game.

Give yourself space, breathe in and out,
It’s okay to stumble, it’s okay to doubt,
Just one step forward, don’t need to race,
You’re finding your strength, at your own pace.

On your yellow brick road to recovery,
Let love and patience set you free,
With every mile, with every turn,
You’ll rise from ashes, you’ll feel the burn—
But you’re heading home, just wait and see,
To the truest version of you that could be.

The past may be heavy, it’s okay to cry,
You’ve got wounds to heal, but you’re learning why—
The cracks, they don’t break, they let the light shine,
And you’re growing stronger, one day at a time.

In the mirror, see that beautiful soul,
Broken but brave, making itself whole,
You’ve faced the dark, but now you know,
You’re paving the way with each step you go.

On your yellow brick road to recovery,
Let love and patience set you free,
With every mile, with every turn,
You’ll rise from ashes, you’ll feel the burn—
But you’re heading home, just wait and see,
To the truest version of you that could be.

Hold yourself close, like a friend would do,
Speak kind words, let them carry you,
You’re not alone, not the only one,
Finding the light when the journey’s begun.

Forgive yourself for the pain you’ve known,
For trusting too deeply, for going alone,
You’re learning to love, learning to grow,
On a road that’s winding but leads back home.

On your yellow brick road to recovery,
Let love and patience set you free,
With every mile, with every turn,
You’ll rise from ashes, you’ll feel the burn—
But you’re heading home, just wait and see,
To the truest version of you that could be.

So take each step, let the journey unfold,
You’re mending your heart, you’re breaking the mold,
On this yellow brick road, you’ll find your way,
Kindness your compass, come what may.

Just know you’re enough, right here and now,
You’re healing, you’re rising, you’ll make it somehow—
On this path to peace, just let it be,
Your yellow brick road will set you free.
