Wonderful - Stephen Schwartz.mp3

[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
