| [00:46.00] |
(WIZARD)I never asked for this |
| [00:48.81] |
Or planned it in advance |
| [00:51.82] |
I was merely blown here |
| [00:54.33] |
By the winds of chance |
| [00:58.79] |
I never saw myself |
| [01:00.66] |
As a Solomon or Socrates |
| [01:02.93] |
I knew who I was: |
| [01:05.05] |
One of your dime a dozen |
| [01:08.36] |
Mediocrities |
| [01:11.09][01:45.11][02:36.97] |
|
| [01:11.64] |
Then suddenly I'm here |
| [01:13.97] |
Respected - worshipped, even |
| [01:17.44] |
Just because the folks in Oz |
| [01:20.91] |
Needed someone to believe in |
| [01:26.46] |
Does it surprise you |
| [01:28.93] |
I got hooked, and all too soon? |
| [01:33.54] |
What can I say? |
| [01:35.68] |
I got carried away |
| [01:38.63] |
And not just by balloon: |
| [01:47.85][04:10.11] |
Wonderful |
| [01:50.55] |
They called me "Wonderful" |
| [01:54.38] |
So I said "Wonderful" - if you insist |
| [02:00.59] |
I will be "Wonderful" |
| [02:05.58] |
And they said "Wonderful" |
| [02:09.16] |
Believe me, it's hard to resist |
| [02:14.85] |
'Cause it feels wonderful |
| [02:18.36] |
They think I'm wonderful |
| [02:20.88] |
Hey, look who's wonderful - |
| [02:23.93] |
This corn-fed hick |
| [02:26.47] |
Who said: "It might be keen |
| [02:28.94] |
To build a town of green |
| [02:32.12] |
And a wonderful road of yellow brick!" |
| [02:37.72] |
(spoken) See - I never had a family of my own. So, I |
| [02:40.81] |
guess I just - wanted to give the citizens of Oz everything. |
| [02:45.74] |
(ELPHABA)So you lied to them. |
| [02:47.36] |
(WIZARD) Elphaba, where I'm from, we believe all sorts of |
| [02:51.75] |
things that aren't true. We call it - "history." |
| [02:55.00] |
A man's called a traitor - or liberator |
| [02:59.68] |
A rich man's a thief - or philanthropist |
| [03:04.41] |
Is one a crusader - or ruthless invader? |
| [03:08.51] |
It's all in which label |
| [03:10.96] |
Is able to persist |
| [03:13.48] |
There are precious few at ease |
| [03:15.59] |
With moral ambiguities |
| [03:17.71] |
So we act as though they don't exist |
| [03:22.77] |
They call me "Wonderful" |
| [03:28.12] |
So I am wonderful |
| [03:30.85] |
In fact - it's so much who I am |
| [03:33.71] |
It's part of my name |
| [03:36.48] |
And with my help, you can be the same |
| [03:41.64] |
At long, long last receive your due |
| [03:45.90] |
Long overdue |
| [03:48.02] |
Elphaba - The most celebrated |
| [03:52.90] |
Are the rehabilitated |
| [03:58.03] |
There'll be such a - whoop-de-doo |
| [04:01.59] |
A celebration throughout Oz |
| [04:05.52] |
That's all to do - with you |
| [04:11.49] |
They'll call you wonderful: |
| [04:14.18] |
(ELPHABA)It does sound wonderful: |
| [04:16.39] |
(WIZARD)Trust me - it's fun |
| [04:17.98] |
(BOTH)When you are wonderful |
| [04:21.14] |
It would be wonderful? |
| [04:24.17] |
Wonderful, wonderful |
| [04:27.56] |
(WIZARD)One! Two! And: |
| [04:32.14] |
(they dance) |
