0:43:50 > 0:43:53- # Or, like Munchkins, - so small minded? No!
0:43:53 > 0:43:56- # He'll say to me, - "I see who you truly are"
0:43:57 > 0:44:00- # "A girl of whom I can rely"
0:44:00 > 0:44:06- # And that's how we'll - begin The Wizard and I
0:44:09 > 0:44:12- # Once I'm with the Wizard
0:44:12 > 0:44:15- # My whole life will change
0:44:15 > 0:44:18- # 'Cause once you're with the Wizard
0:44:19 > 0:44:21- # No one thinks you're strange
0:44:22 > 0:44:24- # No father is not proud of you
0:44:25 > 0:44:28- # No sister acts ashamed
0:44:28 > 0:44:34- # And all of Oz has to love you
0:44:34 > 0:44:38- # When by the Wizard, - you're acclaimed
0:44:38 > 0:44:41- # And this gift or - this curse I have inside
0:44:41 > 0:44:44- # Maybe at last I'll know why
0:44:44 > 0:44:48- # As we work hand in hand, - the Wizard and I
0:44:48 > 0:44:50- # And one day, he'll say to me
0:44:50 > 0:44:54- # "Elphaba, - a girl who is so superior"
0:44:54 > 0:44:58- # "Shouldn't a girl who's so good - inside have a matching exterior"
0:44:58 > 0:45:01- # "And since folks here - to an absurd degree"
0:45:01 > 0:45:06- # "Seem fixated on your vedigris"
0:45:06 > 0:45:10- # "Would it be all right with you"
0:45:10 > 0:45:15- # "If I degreenify you?"
0:45:15 > 0:45:19- # And though of course - that's not important to me
0:45:19 > 0:45:22- # "All right, why not?" I'll reply
0:45:22 > 0:45:28- # Oh what a pair we'll be, - the Wizard and I
0:45:28 > 0:45:33- # "What a pair we'll be - the Wizard and I
0:45:36 > 0:45:40- # Unlimited
0:45:40 > 0:45:44- # My future is unlimited
0:45:45 > 0:45:50- # And I've just had a vision - almost like a prophecy
0:45:50 > 0:45:53- # I know, it sounds truly crazy
0:45:53 > 0:45:57- # And true, the vision's hazy
0:45:57 > 0:46:02- # But I swear, some day there'll be
0:46:02 > 0:46:05- # A celebration throughout Oz
0:46:06 > 0:46:14- # That's all to do with me
0:46:15 > 0:46:19- # And I'll stand there - with the Wizard
0:46:19 > 0:46:22- # Feeling things I've never felt
0:46:23 > 0:46:25- # And though I'd never show it
0:46:26 > 0:46:29- # I'll be so happy, I could melt
0:46:29 > 0:46:33- # And so it will be - for the rest of my life
0:46:33 > 0:46:36- # And I'll want nothing else - till I die
0:46:36 > 0:46:39- # Held in such high esteem
0:46:40 > 0:46:43- # When people see me, - they will scream
0:46:43 > 0:46:46- # For half of Oz's favourite team
0:46:47 > 0:46:55- # The Wizard and I #
0:46:56 > 0:46:56- .
