| [00:46.675] |
WIZARD: |
| [00:46.677] |
I never asked for this |
| [00:48.839] |
Or planned it in advance |
| [00:51.973] |
I was merely blown here |
| [00:54.780] |
By the winds of chance |
| [00:58.712] |
I never saw myself |
| [01:00.523] |
As a Solomon or Socrates |
| [01:03.309] |
I knew who I was |
| [01:05.381] |
One of your dime a dozen |
| [01:08.730] |
Mediocrities |
| [01:11.457] |
Then suddenly I'm here |
| [01:14.277] |
Respected worshipped, even |
| [01:18.197] |
Just because the folks in Oz |
| [01:21.344] |
Needed someone to believe in |
| [01:26.744] |
Does it surprise you |
| [01:28.613] |
I got hooked, and all too soon? |
| [01:34.033] |
What can I say? |
| [01:36.301] |
I got carried away |
| [01:39.517] |
And not just by balloon |
| [01:48.356] |
Wonderful |
| [01:50.667] |
They called me "Wonderful" |
| [01:54.452] |
So I said "Wonderful" , if you insist |
| [02:02.033] |
I will be "Wonderful" |
| [02:05.637] |
And they said "Wonderful" |
| [02:10.406] |
Believe me, it's hard to resist |
| [02:14.653] |
'Cause it feels wonderful |
| [02:18.595] |
They think I'm wonderful |
| [02:21.164] |
Hey, look who's wonderful |
| [02:23.800] |
This corn-fed hick |
| [02:26.643] |
Who said: "It might be keen |
| [02:29.167] |
To build a town of green |
| [02:32.112] |
And a wonderful road of yellow brick!" |
| [02:37.420] |
(spoken) See, I never had a family of my own. |
| [02:40.546] |
So, I guess I just wanted to give the citizens of Oz everything |
| [02:45.755] |
ELPHABA: |
| [02:45.759] |
(spoken) So you lied to them |
| [02:47.320] |
WIZARD: |
| [02:47.322] |
(spoken) Elphaba, where I'm from, we believe all sorts of |
| [02:51.537] |
things that aren't true. We call it "history" |
| [02:55.202] |
(sung) A man's called a traitor or liberator |
| [02:59.841] |
A rich man's a thief or philanthropist |
| [03:04.123] |
Is one a crusader or ruthless invader? |
| [03:08.802] |
It's all in which label |
| [03:10.945] |
Is able to persist |
| [03:13.389] |
There are precious few at ease |
| [03:15.692] |
With moral ambiguities |
| [03:18.072] |
So we act as though they don't exist |
| [03:22.921] |
They call me "Wonderful" |
| [03:28.478] |
So I am wonderful |
| [03:31.070] |
In fact, it's so much who I am |
| [03:34.075] |
It's part of my name |
| [03:36.937] |
And with my help, you can be the same |
| [03:42.286] |
At long, long last receive your due |
| [03:46.050] |
Long overdue |
| [03:48.402] |
Elphaba, The most celebrated |
| [03:53.422] |
Are the rehabilitated |
| [03:58.081] |
There'll be such a whoop-de-doo |
| [04:02.082] |
A celebration throughout Oz |
| [04:05.896] |
That's all to do - with you |
| [04:09.980] |
Wonderful |
| [04:11.670] |
They'll call you wonderful |
| [04:14.144] |
ELPHABA: |
| [04:14.145] |
It does sound wonderful |
| [04:16.596] |
WIZARD: |
| [04:16.598] |
Trust me, it's fun |
| [04:19.005] |
BOTH: |
| [04:19.010] |
When you are wonderful |
| [04:21.463] |
It would be wonderful? |
| [04:24.689] |
Wonderful, wonderful |
| [04:27.135] |
WIZARD: |
| [04:27.137] |
One! Two! And |
