Wicked movie - Wonderful lyrics
rate meSong by Joel Grey<br /><br>
WIZARD<br>
I never asked for this<br>
Or planned it in advance<br>
I was merely blown here<br>
By the winds of chance<br>
I never saw myself <br>
As a Solomon or Socrates<br>
I knew who I was:<br>
One of your dime a dozen<br>
Mediocrities<br>
<br>
Then suddenly I'm here<br>
Respected - worshipped, even<br>
Just because the folks in Oz<br>
Needed someone to believe in<br>
Does it surprise you<br>
I got hooked, and all too soon?<br>
What can I say?<br>
I got carried away<br>
And not just by balloon:<br>
<br>
Wonderful<br>
They called me "Wonderful"<br>
So I said "Wonderful" - if you insist<br>
I will be "Wonderful"<br>
And they said "Wonderful"<br>
Believe me, it's hard to resist<br>
'Cause it feels wonderful<br>
They think I'm wonderful<br>
Hey, look who's wonderful -<br>
This corn-fed hick<br>
Who said: "It might be keen<br>
To build a town of green<br>
And a wonderful road of yellow brick!"<br>
<br>
(spoken) See - I never had a family of my own. So, I <br>
guess I just - wanted to give the citizens of Oz everything.<br>
<br>
ELPHABA(spoken) So you lied to them.<br>
<br>
WIZARD<br>
(spoken) Elphaba, where I'm from, we believe all sorts of<br>
things that aren't true. We call it - "history."<br>
<br>
(sung) A man's called a traitor - or liberator<br>
A rich man's a thief - or philanthropist<br>
Is one a crusader - or ruthless invader?<br>
It's all in which label<br>
Is able to persist<br>
There are precious few at ease<br>
With moral ambiguities<br>
So we act as though they don't exist<br>
<br>
They call me "Wonderful"<br>
So I am wonderful<br>
In fact - it's so much who I am<br>
It's part of my name<br>
And with my help, you can be the same<br>
At long, long last receive your due<br>
Long overdue<br>
Elphaba - The most celebrated<br>
Are the rehabilitated<br>
There'll be such a - whoop-de-doo<br>
A celebration throughout Oz<br>
That's all to do - with you<br>
<br>
Wonderful<br>
They'll call you wonderful:<br>
<br>
ELPHABA<br>
It does sound wonderful:<br>
<br>
WIZARD<br>
Trust me - it's fun<br>
<br>
BOTH<br>
When you are wonderful<br>
It would be wonderful?<br>
Wonderful, wonderful<br>
<br>
WIZARD<br>
One! Two! And:<br>
(they dance) <br>
<br>
<br>
