Lyrics
FAIRY TALES
Verse 1
You only see the yellow road in the Emerald Forrest
Not the monkeys flying at your back
But remember that the wicked witch is sometimes up above you
And Kansas might not always take you back
CHORUS
Don?t just jump into the story
Thinking someone else?s tale will do
Don?t think their fairy tales will all have happy endings
Not all fairy tales are for you
Sometimes you must write your own way through
Verse 2
Every trip you take to the golden, magic kingdom
Can?t be saved with one sweep of a wand
Sometimes you must wake up, face the world before you
And find the magic only you can use
CHORUS
Don?t just jump into the story
Thinking someone else?s tale will do
Don?t think their fairy tales will all have happy endings
Not all fairy tales are for you
Sometimes you must write your own way through
Verse 3
You can?t always fly away in magic pixie dust
And dreaming will not always give you wings
But take a tip from Peter Pan, watch out for the hook
Or illusions in someone else?s book
CHORUS
Don?t just jump into the story
Thinking someone else?s tale will do
Don?t think their fairy tales will all have happy endings
Not all fairy tales are for you
Sometimes you must write your own way through
Sometimes you must write your own way through
