Letra de Wonderful

WIZARD
I never asked for this
Or planned it in advance
I was merely blown here
By the winds of chance
I never saw myself
As a Solomon or Socrates
I knew who I was:
One of your dime a dozen
Mediocrities

Then suddenly I´m here
Respected - worshipped, even
Just because the folks in Oz
Needed someone to believe in
Does it surprise you
I got hooked, and all too soon?
What can I say?
I got carried away
And not just by balloon:

Wonderful
They called me "Wonderful"
So I said "Wonderful" - if you insist
I will be "Wonderful"
And they said "Wonderful"
Believe me, it´s hard to resist
´Cause it feels wonderful
They think I´m wonderful
Hey, look who´s wonderful -
This corn-fed hick
Who said: "It might be keen
To build a town of green
And a wonderful road of yellow brick!"

(spoken) See - I never had a family of my own. So, I
guess I just - wanted to give the citizens of Oz everything.

ELPHABA(spoken) So you lied to them.

WIZARD
(spoken) Elphaba, where I´m from, we believe all sorts of
things that aren´t true. We call it - "history."

(sung) A man´s called a traitor - or liberator
A rich man´s a thief - or philanthropist
Is one a crusader - or ruthless invader?
It´s all in which label
Is able to persist
There are precious few at ease
With moral ambiguities
So we act as though they don´t exist

They call me "Wonderful"
So I am wonderful
In fact - it´s so much who I am
It´s part of my name
And with my help, you can be the same
At long, long last receive your due
Long overdue
Elphaba - The most celebrated
Are the rehabilitated
There´ll be such a - whoop-de-doo
A celebration throughout Oz
That´s all to do - with you

Wonderful
They´ll call you wonderful:

ELPHABA
It does sound wonderful:

WIZARD
Trust me - it´s fun

BOTH
When you are wonderful
It would be wonderful?
Wonderful, wonderful

WIZARD
One! Two! And:
(they dance)
