(MADAME MORRIBLE) Oh, Miss Elphaba! Many years I have waited For a gift like yours to appear Why I predict the wizard would make you his Magic grand vezier! 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 definish 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 supress 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've proved 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 in hand The wizard and I
And one day he'll say to me 'Elphaba, Girl who is so superior Shouldn't a girl who's so good inside Have a matching exterior? And since folks here to and 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'd 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 favorite team The wizard And I
