| For a gift like yours to appear
|
| Why, I predict the Wizard
|
| Could make you his
|
| Magic grand vizier!
|
| My dear, my dear
|
| I’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
|
| You’ll be making good:
|
| ELPHABA
|
| Did that really just happen?
|
| Have I actually understood?
|
| This weird quirk I’ve tried
|
| To suppress or hide
|
| Is a talent that could
|
| Help me meet the Wizard
|
| If I make good
|
| So I’ll make good:
|
| When I meet the Wizard
|
| Once I prove my worth
|
| And then I meet the Wizard
|
| What I’ve waited for since: since birth!
|
| And with all his Wizard wisdom
|
| By my looks, he won’t be blinded
|
| Do you think the Wizard is dumb?
|
| Or, like Munchkins, so small-minded?
|
| No! |
| He’ll say to me,
|
| «I see who you truly are —
|
| A girl on whom I can rely!»
|
| And that’s how we’ll begin
|
| The Wizard and I:
|
| Once I’m with the Wizard
|
| My whole life will change
|
| 'Cuz once you’re with the Wizard
|
| No one thinks you’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 you’re acclaimed
|
| And this gift — or this curse —
|
| I have inside
|
| Maybe at last, I’ll know why
|
| When we are hand and hand —
|
| The Wizard and I!
|
| And one day, he’ll say to me, «Elphaba,
|
| A girl who is so superior
|
| Shouldn’t a girl who’s so good inside
|
| Have a matching exterior?
|
| 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?»
|
| And though of course
|
| That’s not important to me
|
| «All right, why not?"I'll reply
|
| Oh, what a pair we’ll be The Wizard and I:
|
| Yes, what a pair we’ll be The Wizard and:
|
| Unlimited
|
| My future is unlimited
|
| And I’ve just had a vision
|
| Almost like a prophecy
|
| I know — it sounds truly crazy
|
| And true, the vision’s hazy
|
| But I swear, someday there’ll be A celebration throughout Oz That’s all to do with me!
|
| And I’ll stand there with the Wizard
|
| Feeling things I’ve never felt
|
| And though I’d never show it
|
| I’ll be so happy, I could melt!
|
| And so it will be For the rest of my life
|
| And I’ll want nothing else
|
| Till I die
|
| Held in such high esteem
|
| When people see me, they will scream
|
| For half of Oz’s fav’rite team:
|
| The Wizard
|
| And I! |
