The Wizard and I (From "Wicked") - Kevin Duncan

When I meet the Wizard Once I prove my worth And when 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 Cause 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, 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 favorite team The Wizard and I

I think I see An altered beast By the tree Take a peek If you would dare Half made of man Half of bear He came from underneath I met an altered beast I think I see An altered beast By the creek Altered face and altered skin Altered born of altered kin He came from underneath I met an altered beast I think I see An altered beast In my dreams In a dream, you can wake in your bed without pain But know with conviction, it's here you'll remain I met an altered beast With an unsteady gait, the creature moves forth Feel his rhythm as he tramples the earth And you stare at his figure, stupefied in dread As his gaze locks to yours and bores into your head And the pulse is so loud on the inside of your brain And you find that your feet are stuck to the terrain Closer he comes, making dust out of stone Forsaken you are, and what's more, all alone I think I see An altered beast By the tree I met an altered beast

I don't think the weather could predict How much it rained this morning I don't watch the forecast, but I think A hurricane is coming It feels darker And I don't know of any way to stop it And I don't think we'll ever be the same Don't know if there's anyone to blame I just said goodbye, my love Done nothing but cry for us Who knew a sky could get so gray It's time to put my umbrella away I just packed my winter coat away I put it in the garage Next to all the polaroids I took I guess you couldn't care less You got colder And I don't think there's anything to hope for And I don't think it's ever gonna change Don't know if there's anyone to blame I just said goodbye, my love Done nothing but try for us Who knew a sky could get so gray It's time to put my umbrella away (rain, rain, go away) I just said goodbye, my love Done nothing but cry for us Who knew a sky could get so gray It's time to put my umbrella away (rain, rain, go away, rain rain go away) Dancing on Puddles mirroring light from up above Raindrops showing small reflections of The way we were Dancing on Puddles mirroring light from up above Raindrops showing small reflections of The way we were I just said goodbye, my love Done nothing but cry for us Who knew a sky could get so gray It's time to put my umbrella away (rain, rain, go away) I just said goodbye, my love Done nothing but try for us Who knew a sky could get so gray It's time to put my umbrella away (rain, rain, go away, rain rain go away) Rain rain go away, don't come back another day Rain rain go away, don't come back another day Rain rain go away, don't come back another day Rain rain go away, don't come back another day

Everybody knows me Everybody holds a piece of truth Everybody sees me They all have a point of view But no one really knows me like you When nobody would see it And I could feel the doubts creep in my mind You kept me believing Told me, "It's alright, just give it time" Nobody knows me like you When my world's on fire You kill the flames I love how you're always The beauty in my pain Most hearts never stay But your love keeps me safe People come and people go But you and I, we're beautiful So let the whole world change We'll stay the same It's something that we're made of It's greater than the distance we're apart I don't need to say much 'Cause you can read me right from where you are No one really knows me like you When my world's on fire You kill the flames I love how you're always The beauty in my pain Most hearts never stay But your love keeps me safe People come and people go But you and I, we're beautiful So let the whole world change We'll stay the same When my world's on fire, you call When my world's on fire, kill the flames When my world's on fire, you call When my world's on fire, kill the flames When my world's on fire, you call When my world's on fire, kill the flames When my world's on fire, you call When my world's on fire, kill the flames When my world's on fire, you call When my world's on fire, kill the flames When my world's on fire, you call Yeah, yeah, yeah

I found you in flares of city lights And your corner's the streets that I passed by Your heart beats a million miles away But I feel you with me now So please don't fade Somewhere, some way We've got a lifetime to live I've got my whole heart to give What can I hold on to If I haven't met you? All of our memories ahead So many good times left But what can I hold on to If I haven't met you yet? Imagine the sunset in July We'll dance like the waves on the coastline Imagine a dream where you don't wake Can you make it all slow down? We'll find our way Somehow, someday We've got a lifetime to live I've got my whole heart to give What can I hold on to If I haven't met you? All of our memories ahead So many good times left But what can I hold on to If I haven't met you? Nothing seems real without you Ooh-ooh-ooh Like I can't feel until I found you We've got a lifetime to live I've got my whole heart to give What can I hold on to If I haven't met you? All of our memories ahead So many good times left But what can I hold on to If I haven't met you yet?
