Oh, miss elphaba...
many years i have waited
for a gift like yours to appear
why, i predict the wizard
could make you his
magic grand vizier!
my dear, my dear
iand'll write at once to the wizard
tell him of you in advance
with a talent like yours, dear
there is a defin-ish chance
if you work as you should...
youand'll be making good
Did that really just happen?
have i actually understood?
this weird quirk iand've tried
to supress or hide
is a talent that could
help me meet the wizard
if i make good
so iand'll make good...
When i meet the wizard
once i prove my worth
and then i meet the wizard
what iand've waited for since.. since birth!
and with all his wizard wisdom
by my looks, he wonand't be blinded
do you think the wizard is dumb?
or like munchkins so small-minded?
no! heand'll say to me:
andquot; i see who you truely are
a girl on whom i can rely!and'
and thatand's how weand'll begin
the wizard and i...
Once iand'm with the wizard
my whole life will change
and'cuz once youand're with the wizard
no one thinks youand're strange
no father is not proud of you
no sister acts ashamed
and all of oz has to love you
when by the wizard, youand're acclaimed
and this gift--or this curse--
i have inside
maybe at last, iand'll know why
when we are hand in hand--
the wizard and i!
And one day, heand'll say to me: andquot;elphaba,
a girl who is so superior
shouldnand't a girl, whoand's soo good inside
have a matching exterior?andquot;
and since folks here to an absurd degree
seem fixated on your verdigris
would it be all right by you
if i de-greenify you?andquot;
And though of course
thatand's not important to me
andquot;all right, why not?andquot; iand'll reply
oh, what a pair weand'll be
the wizard and i
yes, what a pair weand'll be
the wizard and..
Unlimited
my future is unlimited
and iand've just had a vision
almost like a prophecy
i know__ it sounds truly crazy
and true, the visionand's hazy
but i swear, someday thereand'll be
a celebration throughout oz
thatand's all to do with me!
And iand'll stand there with the wizard
feeling things iand've never felt
and though iand'd never show it
iand'll ve so happy, i could melt
and so it will be
for the rest of my life
and iand'll want nothing else
till i die
held in such high esteem
when people see me, they will scream
for half of ozand's favand'rite team:
the wizard and i!
