Colors in Kansas
There's no place like home, she said
But she hadn't been there in a while
So when she woke at home in bed
I bet she had to force that smile
She'd met a man named Roy G. Biv
But now he's gone and she's got to live
In a world of black and white and gray
The yellow road felt miles away
She looked out her window, she rested her chin in her hand
And Toto did too, and they remembered a distant land
And she said...
Why can't there be colors in Kansas?
Why can't I see more than just these tones?
The problem's not with my own eyes
For I've seen technicolor streets and skies
Why can't there be colors right here at home?
This place I call home
There's no place like Oz, he said
This friend of mine who'd been there too
I can't forget those greens and reds
And it feels like I dream in midnight blue
I want to love this world I'm in
But it's hard when this world is so drab and dim
There's no place like Oz, he sighed
I can't forget, though I've tried and tried
We look out our windows, and stare as the night turns to day
The end of the rainbow, and all we got was a pot of gray
And we say...
Why can't there be colors in Kansas?
Why can't I see more than just these tones?
The problem's not with my own eyes
For I've seen technicolor streets and skies
Why can't there be colors right here at home?
There's no place like home, it's true
But that's a truth that cuts both ways
This place that won't let go of you
This dwelling place of your joys and pains
It's fun to ride in an air balloon
But we know we'll be back home quite soon
I want to walk through a red front door
And dance on a deep brown hardwood floor
Maybe, just maybe it doesn't take wizardry
Maybe, just maybe there's reason to hope that it can be
I still believe there will be colors in Kansas
I still believe I'll see more than just these tones
Somebody told me that my eyes are blue
And I remember that the sky is too
I still believe there will be colors right here
I still believe there will be colors right here at home
This place I call home
It's true, there's no place like home
But she hadn't been there in a while
So when she woke at home in bed
I bet she had to force that smile
She'd met a man named Roy G. Biv
But now he's gone and she's got to live
In a world of black and white and gray
The yellow road felt miles away
She looked out her window, she rested her chin in her hand
And Toto did too, and they remembered a distant land
And she said...
Why can't there be colors in Kansas?
Why can't I see more than just these tones?
The problem's not with my own eyes
For I've seen technicolor streets and skies
Why can't there be colors right here at home?

I still believe there will be colors right here at home
This place I call home
It's true, there's no place like home
