ฟังเพลงWonderful (From "Wicked" Original Broadway Cast Recording/2003)

Wonderful - Kristin Chenoweth

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!

See, I never had a family of my own.

So, I guess I just

wanted to give the citizens of Oz everything.

So you lied to them.

Elphaba, where I'm from,

we believe all sorts of things

that aren't true. We call it history.

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!

It does sound wonderful!

Trust me, it's fun!

When you are wonderful,

It would be wonderful!

Wonderful, wonderful

One!

Two!

And
