Idina Menzel - The Wizard And I слова песни
Madame Morrible: Oh, Elphaba--
Many years have I waited
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
Idina Menzel (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
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`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!
