Lyric discussion by Christalena 

Cover art for No Place Like Home lyrics by Scarecrow & Tinmen

in The Wizard of Oz, the lion gains courage, the tinman gets a tender heart, and the scarecrow recieves a new mind. God when we decide to live for Him,will give us a new mind, a new heart and courage to live for him. this is off of www.scarecrowtinmen.com/bandinfo.htm :

" '"One thing that certainly sticks in your brain about Scarecrow & Tinmen is the band's name. "The name really does have depth and meaning," says Chris. "' The Wizard of Oz' is such a wonderful piece of Americana; everybody's got some kind of memory associated with it. Of course, we identify most closely with the Scarecrow and the Tinman, who needed a brain and a heart. As Christians, God gives us a new mind and a new heart.'" "

but my brother and i kind of figured out the meaning on our own after we met the drummer who was on the No Place Like Home album last summer.
