[00:00.00]Wonderful
[00:05.00]
[00:47.00]WIZARD
[00:47.42]I never asked for this
[00:49.86]Or planned it in advance
[00:52.43]I was merely blown here
[00:55.36]By the winds of chance
[00:59.38]I never saw myself
[01:01.26]As a Solomon or Socrates
[01:04.58]I knew who I was:
[01:06.43]One of your dime a dozen
[01:09.48]Mediocrities
[01:12.21]Then suddenly I'm here
[01:15.14]Respected - worshipped, even
[01:18.73]Just because the folks in Oz
[01:21.76]Needed someone to believe in
[01:27.29]Does it surprise you
[01:29.32]I got hooked, and all too soon?
[01:34.93]What can I say?
[01:37.10]I got carried away
[01:40.10]And not just by balloon:
[01:49.02]Wonderful
[01:51.46]They called me "Wonderful"
[01:55.08]So I said "Wonderful" - if you insist
[02:03.03]I will be Wonderful--"
[02:07.48]And they said "Wonderful"
[02:11.02]Believe me, it's hard to resist
[02:15.19]'Cause it feels wonderful
[02:18.91]They think I'm wonderful
[02:21.41]Hey, look who's wonderful -
[02:24.23]This corn-fed hick
[02:27.16]Who said: "It might be keen
[02:29.73]To build a town of green
[02:32.84]And a wonderful road of yellow brick!"
[02:37.95](spoken) See - I never had a family of my own. So, I
[02:42.29]guess I just - wanted to give the citizens of Oz everything.
[02:46.93]ELPHABA(spoken) So you lied to them.
[02:49.10]WIZARD
[02:49.41](spoken) Elphaba, where I'm from, we believe all sorts of
[02:52.13]things that aren't true. We call it - "history."
[02:56.15](sung) A man's called a traitor - or liberator
[03:00.33]A rich man's a thief - or philanthropist
[03:04.67]Is one a crusader - or ruthless invader?
[03:09.01]It's all in which label
[03:11.76]Is able to persist
[03:13.97]There are precious few at ease
[03:16.21]With moral ambiguities
[03:18.21]So we act as though they don't exist
[03:24.33]They call me "Wonderful"
[03:28.67]So I am wonderful
[03:31.43]In fact - it's so much who I am
[03:34.66]It's part of my name
[03:37.57]And with my help, you can be the same
[03:43.02]At long, long last receive your due
[03:46.72]Long overdue
[03:49.13]Elphaba - The most celebrated
[03:53.99]Are the rehabilitated
[03:58.89]There'll be such a - whoop-de-doo
[04:02.76]A celebration throughout Oz
[04:07.95]That's all to do - with you
[04:10.58]Wonderful
[04:12.14]They'll call you wonderful:
[04:14.30]ELPHABA
[04:14.79]It does sound wonderful:
[04:16.60]WIZARD
[04:17.08]Trust me - it's fun
[04:19.20]BOTH
[04:19.59]When you are wonderful
[04:21.81]It would be wonderful?
[04:25.07]Wonderful, wonderful
[04:27.60]WIZARD
[04:28.05]One! Two!And:
[04:30.00]
[04:50.00]Wonderful
[04:52.30]in
[04:53.00]Wicked
