Embrace Your Colors, Break the Mold: Decoding 'Emerald' by Savannah Brister
Lyrics
Scarecrow say he don't got a brain
Scarecrow is expressing a lack of intelligence.
Will he ever get it back someday
Questioning if the Scarecrow will regain intelligence in the future.
Little lion crying, hiding from the storm
Depicting a vulnerable lion hiding from difficulties.
You're worth more than a roar
Encouraging someone to recognize their value beyond mere strength.
Tin man covered in steel
Depicting a Tin Man yearning for genuine emotions.
Wishing to feel something real
Expressing a desire for authentic feelings.

Prompting a choice between material comfort and a challenging but necessary path.
The house you want or the brick road you need

Beauty is where flaws are found
