Overture / No One Mourns The Wicked lyrics - Kristin Chenoweth, Sean McCourt, Cristy Candler, Jan Neuberger & Wicked Cast

(from "Wicked" soundtrack)

[Citizens Of Oz:]

Good news! She's dead!

The Witch of the West is dead!

The wickedest witch there ever was

The enemy of all of us here in Oz

Is dead!

Good news!

Good news!

[Someone in the Crowd:]

Look! It's Glinda!

[Glinda:]

Fellow Ozians

Let us be glad

Let us be grateful

Let us rejoicify that goodness could subdue

The wicked workings of you-know-who

Isn't it nice to know

That good will conquer evil?

The truth we all believe'll by and by

Outlive a lie

For you and

[Someone in the Crowd:]

No one mourns the Wicked

[Another Person:]

No one cries "They won't return!"

[All:]

No one lays a lily on their grave

[Man:]

The good man scorns the Wicked!

[Women:]

Through their lives, our children learn

[All:]

What we miss, when we misbehave

[Glinda:]

And Goodness knows

The Wicked's lives are lonely

Goodness knows

The Wicked die alone

It just shows when you're Wicked

You're left only

On your own

[All:]

Yes, Goodness knows

The Wicked's lives are lonely

Goodness knows

The Wicked cry alone

Nothing grows for the Wicked

They reap only

What they've sown

[Glinda:]

Are people born Wicked? Or do they have wickedness thrust upon them? After all, she had a father. She had a mother, as so many do

[Father:]

How I hate to go and leave you lonely

[Mother:]

That's alright - it's only just one night

[Father:]

But know that you're here in my heart

While I'm out of your sight

[Glinda:]

And like every family - they had their secrets

[Lover:]

Have another drink, my dark-eyed beauty

I've got one more night left, here in town

So have another drink of green elixir

And we'll have ourselves a little mixer

Have another swallow, little lady

And follow me down

[Glinda:]

And of course, from the moment she was born, she was - well - different

[Midwife:]

It's coming

[Father:]

Now?

[Midwife:]

The baby's coming

[Father:]

And how!

[Midwife & Father:]

I see a nose

I see a curl

It's a healthy, perfect

Lovely, little

[Father:]

Sweet Oz!

[Mother:]

What is it? What's wrong?

[Midwife:]

How can it be?

[Father:]

What does it mean?

[Midwife:]

It's atrocious

[Father:]

It's obscene!

[Midwife & Father:]

Like a froggy, ferny cabbage

The baby is unnaturally

[All:]

Green!

[Father:]

Take it away! take it away!

[Glinda:]

So you see - it couldn't have been easy!

[All:]

No one mourns the Wicked!

Now at last, she's dead and gone!

Now at last, there's joy throughout the land

And Goodness knows

We know what Goodness is

Goodness knows

The Wicked die alone

[Glinda:]

She died alone

[All:]

Woe to those

Who spurn what Goodness

They are shown

No one mourns the Wicked

[Glinda:]

Good news!

[Crowd:]

No one mourns the Wicked!

[Glinda:]

Good news!

[All:]

No one mourns the Wicked!

Wicked!

Wicked!

Dear Old Shiz lyrics - Kristin Chenoweth

(from "Wicked" soundtrack)

[Person in crowd:]

Glinda! is it true - were you her friend?!

[Glinda:]

Well, it depends on what you mean by "friend." I did know her. That is, our paths did cross. At school.

[Students:]

O hallowed halls and vine-draped walls

The proudliest sight there is

When grey and sere our hair hath turned

We shall still revere the lessons learned

In our days at dear old Shiz

Our days at dear old

[Glinda:]

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ol

[Students and Glinda:]

Dear old Shiz-zzzz

The Wizard And I lyrics - Idina Menzel & Carole Shelley

(from "Wicked" soundtrack)

[Morrible:]

Oh, Miss Elphaba

Many years I have 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 definish chance

If you work as you should

You'll be making good

[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 alright 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 'til 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

What Is This Feeling? lyrics - Idina Menzel & Kristin Chenoweth

(from "Wicked" soundtrack)

[Spoken - Galinda:]

Dearest, darlingest, Momsie and Popsicle

[Spoken - Elphaba:]

My dear Father

[Both:]

There's been some confusion

Over rooming here at Shiz

[Elphaba:]

But, of course, I'll care for Nessa

[Galinda:]

But, of course, I'll rise above it

[Both:]

For I know that's how you'd want me to respond

Yes, there's been some confusion

For you see, my roommate is

[Galinda:]

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar

And altogether quite impossible to describe

[Spoken - Elphaba:]

Blonde

[Galinda:]

What is this feeling

So sudden and new?

[Elphaba:]

I felt the moment

I laid eyes on you

[Galinda:]

My pulse is rushing

[Elphaba:]

My head is reeling

[Galinda:]

My face is flushing

[Both:]

What is this feeling?

Fervid as a flame

Does it have a name?

Yes

Loathing

Unadulterated loathing

[Galinda:]

For your face

[Elphaba:]

Your voice

[Galinda:]

Your clothing

[Both:]

Let's just say - I loathe it all

Every little trait however small

Makes my very flesh begin to crawl

With simple utter loathing

There's a strange exhilaration

In such total detestation

It's so pure, so strong

Though I do admit it came on fast

Still I do believe that it can last

And I will be loathing, loathing you

My whole life long

[Students:]

Dear Galinda, you are just too good

How do you stand it? I don't think I could

She's a terror! She's a tartar

We don't mean to show a bias

But Galinda you're a martyr

[Galinda:]

Well, these things are sent to try us

[Students:]

Poor Galinda forced to reside

With someone so disgusting-I-fied

We just want to tell you

We're all on your side

We share your...

[Galinda & Elhaba (Students):]

What is this feeling so sudden and new?

(Loathing, unadulterated loathing)

I felt the moment I laid eyes on you

(For her face, her voice, her clothing)

My pulse is rushing, my head is reeling

(Let's just say we loathe it all)

Oh, what is this feeling?

(Every little trait, however small)

Does it have a name? Yes

(Makes our very flesh begin to crawl)

Ahhh

Loathing (Loathing)

There's a strange exhilaration (Loathing)

In such total detestation (Loathing)

It's so pure, so strong (So strong)

Though I do admit it came on fast

Still I do believe that it can last

And I will be loathing (Loathing...)

For forever loathing (Loathing...)

Truly deeply

Loathing you (Loathing you!...)

My whole life long

[Students:]

Loathing

Unadulterated loathing

[Elphaba:]

Boo

[Screams - Galinda:]

Ah

Something Bad lyrics - Idina Menzel (feat. William Youmans)

(from "Wicked" soundtrack)

[DOCTOR DILLAMOND]

[spoken] Oh, Miss Elphaba - The things one hears these days. Dreadful things...

[sung] I've heard of an Ox

A professor from Quox

No longer permitted to teach

Who has lost all powers of speech

And an Owl in Munchkin Rock

A vicar with a thriving flock

Forbidden to preach

Now he can only screech!

Only rumors - but still -

Enough to give pause

To anyone with paws

Something bad is happening in Oz...

[ELPHABA]

Something bad? Happening in Oz?

[DILLAMOND]

Under the surface

Behind the scenes

Something baaaaaaad...

[spoken] Sorry. "Bad"

[ELPHABA (spoken)]

Doctor Dillamond - If something bad is happening

to the Animals, someone's got to tell the Wizard.

That's why we have a Wizard.

[sung] So nothing bad....

[DILLAMOND]

[spoken] I hope you're right...

[BOTH]

Nothing all that bad...

[DILLAMOND]

Nothing truly baaaaaad....

[spoken] Sorry... "Bad"...

[ELPHABA]

It couldn't happen here

In Oz...

Dancing Through Life lyrics - Idina Menzel (feat. Norbert Leo Butz, Kristin Chenoweth, Christoper Fitzgerald, Michelle Federer)

(from "Wicked" soundtrack)

[Fiyero:]

The trouble with schools is

They always try to teach the wrong lesson

Believe me, I've been kicked out

Of enough of them to know

They want you to become less callow

Less shallow

But I say: why invite stress in?

Stop studying strife

And learn to live "the unexamined life"...

Dancing through life

Skimming the surface

Gliding where turf is smooth

Life's more painless

For the brainless

Why think too hard?

When it's so soothing

Dancing through life

No need to tough it

When you can sluff it off as I do

Nothing matters

But knowing nothing matters

It's just life

So keep dancing through...

Dancing through life

Swaying and sweeping

And always keeping cool

Life is fraught-less

When you're thoughtless

Those who don't try

Never look foolish

Dancing through life

Mindless and careless

Make sure you're where less

Trouble is rife

Woes are fleeting

Blows are glancing

When you're dancing

Through life...

So-what's the most swankified place in town?

[Galinda:]

That would be the Ozdust Ballroom.

[Fiyero:]

Sounds perfect.

Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom

We'll meet there later tonight

We can dance till it's light

Find the prettiest girl...

Give her a whirl

Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom

Come on

Follow me

You'll be happy to be there...

[Students:]

Dancing through life

Down at the Ozdust...

[Fiyero:]

If only because dust

Is what we come to

[Students:]

Nothing matters

But knowing nothing matters

It's just life...

[Fiyero:]

So keep dancing through...

[Boq:]

Miss Galinda, I hope you'll save at least one dance for me. I'll be right there. Waiting. All night.

[Galinda:]

Oh-that's so kind. But you know what would be even kinder?

See that tragic'ly beautiful girl

The one in the chair

It seems so unfair

We should go on a spree

And not she

Gee-

I know someone would be my hero

If that someone were

To go invite her...

[Boq:]

Well maybe, I could invite her?

[Galinda:]

Oh, Biq, really?

You would do that for me?

[Boq:]

I would do anything for you, Miss Galinda.

[Galinda:]

So...

[Fiyero:]

So I'll be picking you up around eight?

[Galinda:]

After all-

Now that we've met one another

[Galinda & Fiyero:]

It's clear we deserve each other

[Galinda:]

You're perfect...

[Fiyero:]

You're perfect...

[Galinda & Fiyero:]

So we're perfect together

Born to be forever...

Dancing through life...

[Nessa:]

Oh, Elphaba, isn't it wonderful?

Fin'lly for this one night

I'm about to have a fun night

With this Munchkin boy

Galinda found for me

And I only wish there were

Something I could do for her

To repay her

Elphaba, see

We deserve each other

And Galinda helped it come true

We deserve each other

Me and Boq -

Please, Elphaba, try to understand.

[Elphaba:]

I do...

Galinda, listen. Nessa and I were talking about you just now.

[Galinda:]

And I was just talking about you. I thought you might want to wear this hat to the party tonight!

It's really-uh-sharp

Don't you think?

You know black is this year's pink

You deserve each other

This hat and you

You're both so smart

You deserve each other

So here

Out of the goodness of my heart

[Boq:]

Listen, Nessa

[Nessa:]

Yes?

[Boq:]

Uh, Nessa.

I've got something to confess, a

Reason why, well-

Why I asked you here tonight

Now I know it isn't fair...

[Nessa:]

Oh, Boq. I know why.

[Boq:]

You do?

[Nessa:]

It's because I'm in this chair

And you felt sorry for me

Well isn't that right?

[Boq:]

No! No! It's because... uh... because...

Because you are so beautiful

[Nessa:]

Oh, Boq! I think you're wonderful!

And we deserve each other

Don't you see, this is our chance?

We deserve each other

Don't we, Boq?

[Boq:]

You know what?

Let's dance!

[Nessa:]

What?

[Boq:]

Let's dance!

[Students:]

Dancing through life

Down at the Ozdust

If only because dust

Is what we come to

And the strange thing:

Your life could end up changing

While you're dancing

Through!

Popular lyrics - Kristin Chenoweth

[GALINDA - Spoken:]

Elphie, now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project!

[ELPHABA - Spoken:]

You really don't have to do that...

[GALINDA - Spoken:]

I know, that's what makes me so nice!

Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I,

And let's face it, who isn't less fortunate than I?

My tender heart tends to start to bleed.

And when someone needs a makeover,

I simply have to take over!

I know, I know exactly what they need!

And even in your case,

Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face,

Don't worry, I'm determined to succeed!

Follow my lead,

And yes indeed, you will be...

POPULAR!

You're gonna be popular!

I'll teach you the proper poise,

When you talk to boys,

Little ways to flirt and flounce,

ooh!

I'll show you what shoes to wear!

How to fix your hair!

Everything that really counts to be...

POPULAR!

I'll help you be popular!

You'll hang with the right cohorts,

You'll be good at sports,

Know the slang you've got to know.

So let's start,

'Cause you've got an awfully long way to go!

Don't be offended by my frank an*lysis,

Think of it as personality dialysis,

Now that I've chosen to become a

Pal, a sister and advisor,

There's nobody wiser!

Not when it comes to...

POPULAR!

I know about popular.

and with an assist from me,

to be who you'll be,

instead of dreary who you were...

Well, are.

There's nothing that can stop you,

from becoming popu-ler... lar...

la la, la la!

We're gonna make you pop-u-lar!

When i see depressing creatures,

With unprepossessing features,

I remind them on their own behalf

To - think - of

Celebrated heads of state,

Or specially great communicators!

Did they have brains or knowledge?

Don't make me laugh!

They were POPULAR!

Please!

It's all about popular.

It's not about aptitude,

It's the way you're viewed,

So it's very shrewd to be,

Very very popular

like ME!

[Spoken:]

Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you. you're beautiful!

[ELPHABA - Spoken:]

I, I have to go...

[GALINDA - Spoken:]

You're welcome...

And though you protest,

Your disinterest,

I know clandestinely,

You're gonna grin and bear it!

Your new found popularity!

Aah!

La la, la la!

You'll be popular!

Just not quite as popular as ME!

I'm Not That Girl lyrics - Idina Menzel

(from "Wicked" soundtrack)

[ELPHABA:]

Hands touch, eyes meet

Sudden silence, sudden heat

Hearts leap in a giddy whirl

He could be that boy

But I'm not that girl

Don't dream too far

Don't lose sight of who you are

Don't remember that rush of joy

He could be that boy

I'm not that girl

Ev'ry so often, we long to steal

To the land of what-might-have-been

But that doesn't soften the ache we feel

When reality sets back in

Blithe smile, lithe limb

She who's winsome, she wins him

Gold hair with a gentle curl

That's the girl he chose

And Heaven knows

I'm not that girl

Don't wish, don't start

Wishing only wounds the heart

I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl

There's a girl I know

He loves her so

I'm not that girl

One Short Day lyrics - Kristin Chenoweth

(from "Wicked" soundtrack)

[ELPHABA, spoken:]

Come with me to the Emerald City

[TOURISTS:]

One short day in the Emerald City

[GLINDA, spoken:]

Oh, I've always wanted to see the Emerald City!

[TOURISTS:]

One short day in the Emerald City

One short day in the Emerald City

One short day full of so much to do

Ev'ry way that you look in the city

There's something exquisite you'll want to visit

Before the day's through

[ELPHABA:]

There are buildings as tall as Quoxwood trees

[GLINDA:]

Dress salons

[ELPHABA:]

And libraries

[GLINDA:]

Palaces!

[ELPHABA:]

Museums!

[BOTH:]

A hundred strong

There are wonders like I've never seen

[GLINDA:]

It's all grand

[ELPHABA:]

And it's all green!

[BOTH:]

I think we've found the place where we belong!

I wanna be in this hoi polloi

[ELPHABA:]

So I'll be back for good someday

[GLINDA:]

To make my life and make my way

[BOTH:]

But for today, we'll wander and enjoy...

[ALL:]

One short day in the Emerald City

One short day to have a lifetime of fun

One short day

[ELPHABA & GLINDA:]

And we're warning the city

Now that we're in here

You'll know we've been here

[ALL:]

Before we are done!

[GLINDA, spoken:]

Elphie, come on, we'll be late for Wizomania!

[WIZOMANIA CHOIR:]

Who's the mage

Whose major itinerary is making all Oz merrier?

Who's the sage

Who's sagely sailed in to save our posteriors?

Whose enthuse for hot air ballooning

Has all of Oz honeymooning?

Woo-oo-oo

Wizn't he wonderful?

Our wonderful Wizard!

[ELPHABA & GLINDA (WIZOMANIA CHOIR):]

One short day in the Emerald City

(Who's the mage)

(Whose major itinerary is making all Oz merrier?)

One short day to have a lifetime of fun

(Who's the sage)

(Who's sagely sailed in to save our posteriors?)

[ALL:]

What a way to be seeing the city

[ELPHABA & GLINDA:]

Where so many roam to

We'll call it home, too

And then, just like now, we can say

We're just two friends

[ELPHABA:]

Two good friends

[GLINDA:]

Two best friends

[ALL:]

Sharing one wonderful

One short

[GUARD, spoken:]

The Wizard will see you now!

[ALL:]

Day!

A Sentimental Man lyrics - Joel Grey

(from "Wicked" soundtrack)

[Wizard:]

I am a sentimental man

Who always longed to be a father

That's why I do the best I can

To treat each citizen of Oz as a son or daughter

So Elphaba, I'd like to raise you high

'Cuz I think everyone deserves the chance to fly

And helping you with your ascent allows me to feel so parental

For I am a sentimental man

Defying Gravity lyrics - Idina Menzel & Kristin Chenoweth

(from "Wicked" soundtrack)

[Glinda:]

Elphaba, why couldn't you have stayed calm, for once instead of flying off the handle?

I hope you're happy

I hope you're happy now

I hope you're happy how you've hurt your cause forever

I hope you think you're clever

[Elphaba:]

I hope you're happy

I hope you're happy too

I hope you're proud how you would

Grovel in submission

To feed your own ambition

[Glinda and Elphaba:]

So though I can't imagine how

I hope you're happy right now

[Glinda:]

Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry!

You can still be with The Wizard

What you've worked and waited for

You can have all you ever wanted

[Elphaba:]

I know

But I don't want it—No!

I can't want it anymore

Something has changed within me

Something is not the same

I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game

Too late for second-guessing

Too late to go back to sleep

It's time to trust my instincts

Close my eyes and leap

It's time to try defying gravity

I think I'll try defying gravity

And you can't pull me down

[Glinda:]

Can't I make you understand

You're having delusions of grandeur?

[Elphaba:]

I'm through accepting limits

'Cause someone says they're so

Some things I cannot change

But 'til I try I'll never know

Too long I've been afraid of

Losing love, I guess I've lost

Well if that's love

It comes at much too high a cost

I'd sooner buy defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity

And you can't pull me down!

Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could do together!

Unlimited

Together we're unlimited

Together we'll be the greatest team

There's ever been, Glinda!

Dreams the way we planned 'em

[Glinda:]

If we work in tandem

[Glinda and Elphaba:]

There's no fight we cannot win

Just you and I defying gravity

With you and I defying gravity

[Elphaba:]

They'll never bring us down!

Well, are you coming?

[Glinda decides to stay behind]

[Glinda:]

I hope you're happy now that you're choosing this

[Elphaba:]

You too

I hope it brings you bliss

[Glinda and Elphaba:]

I really hope you get it

And you don't live to regret it

I hope you're happy in the end

I hope you're happy my friend

[Elphaba:]

So if you care to find me

Look to the Western sky!

As someone told me lately

Everyone deserves the chance to fly

And if I'm flying solo

At least I'm flying free

To those who ground me

Take a message back from me!

Tell them how I am defying gravity

I'm flying high defying gravity

And soon I'll match them in renown

And nobody in all of Oz

No wizard that there is or was

Is ever gonna bring me down!

[Glinda:]

I hope you're happy

[Citizens OF Oz:]

Look at her

She's wicked

Get her!

[Elphaba:]

Bring me down!

[Citizens of Oz:]

No one mourns the wicked

So we got to bring her down!

No One Mourns The Wicked (Reprise) / Thank Goodness lyrics - Kristin Chenoweth, Carole Shelley & Wicked Cast

(from "Wicked" soundtrack)

[Citizens of Oz:]

Ev'ry day, more wicked!

Ev'ry day, the terror grows!

All of Oz is ever on alert!

That's the way with Wicked

Spreading fear where e'er she goes

Seeking out new victims she can hurt!

[A Hysterical Woman:]

Like some terrible green blizzard

Throughout the land she flies

[An Outraged Man:]

Defaming our poor Wizard

With her calumnies and lies!

[All:]

She lies!

Save us from the Wicked!

Shield us so we won't be hexed!

Give us warning

Where will she strike next?

Where will she strike next?

Where will she strike next!?

[Glinda:]

Fellow Ozians - as terrifying as terror is, let us put aside our panic for this one day: and celebrate!

Oh, what a celebration

We'll have today

[Crowd:]

Thank Goodness!

[Glinda:]

Let's have a celebration

The Glinda way!

[Crowd:]

Thank Goodness!

[Morrible:]

Fin'lly a day that's

Totally Wicked-Witch free!

[Crowd:]

We couldn't be happier

Thank Goodness!

[Glinda:]

Yes

We couldn't be happier

Right, dear?

Couldn't be happier

Right here

Look what we've got

A fairy-tale plot

Our very own happy ending

Where we couldn't be happier

True, dear?

Couldn't be happier

And we're happy to share

Our ending vicariously

With all of you

He couldn't look handsomer

I couldn't feel humbler

We couldn't be happier

Because happy is what happens

When all your dreams come true!

[Morrible:]

And Glinda dear, we're happy for you! As Press

Secretary, I have striven to ensure that all of Oz

Knows the story of your braverism

The day you were first summoned

To an audience with Oz

And although he would not tell you why initially

When you bowed before his throne

He decreed you'd hence be known

As Glinda the Good - officially!

Then with a jealous squeal

The Wicked Witch burst from concealment

Where she had been lurking - surrpetitially!

[People in Crowd:]

I hear she has an extra eye

That always remains awake

I hear that she can shed her skin

As easily as a snake!

I hear some rebel Animals

Are giving her food and shelter!

I hear her soul is so unclean

Pure water can melt her!

[Fiyero:]

What!?

[Crowd:]

Melt her!?

Please, somebody go and melt her!

[Fiyero:]

Do you hear that - water will melt her?! People are so empty-headed, they'll believe anything!

[Glinda:]

Fiyero! Oh, yes, thanks plenty, dearest! He's gone to fetch me a refreshment. He's so thoughtful that way!

That's why I couldn't be happier

No, I couldn't be happier

Though it is, I admit

The tiniest bit

Unlike I anticipated

But I couldn't be happier

Simply couldn't be happier

Well, not "simply"

'Cause getting your dreams

It's strange, but it seems

A little - well - complicated

There's a kind of a sort of : cost

There's a couple of things get: lost

There are bridges you cross

You didn't know you crossed

Until you've crossed

And if that joy, that thrill

Doesn't thrill you like you think it will

Still

With this perfect finale

The cheers and ballyhoo

Who wouldn't be happier?

So I couldn't be happier

Because happy is what happens

When all your dreams come true

Well, isn't it?

Happy is what happens

When your dreams come true!

[Crowd:]

We love you, Glinda, if we may be so frank

[Glinda:]

Thank Goodness!

[Crowd:]

For all this joy, we know who we've got to thank:

Thank Goodness!

That means the Wizard, Glinda

[Glinda:]

And fiance!

[Crowd:]

They couldn't be goodlier

She couldn't be lovelier

We couldn't be luckier

[Glinda:]

I couldn't be happier

[Crowd:]

Thank Goodness

[Glinda & Crowd:]

Today!

Thank Goodness for today!

Wonderful lyrics - Idina Menzel (with Joel Grey)

(from "Wicked" soundtrack)

[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...

I'm Not That Girl (Reprise) lyrics - Kristin Chenoweth

(from "Wicked" soundtrack)

[Glinda:]

Don't wish, don't start

Wishing only wounds the heart

There's a girl I know

He loves her so

I'm not that girl

As Long As You're Mine lyrics - Idina Menzel (feat. Norbert Leo Butz)

(from "Wicked" soundtrack)

[ELPHABA:]

Kiss me too fiercely

Hold me too tight

I need help believing

You're with me tonight

My wildest dreamings

Could not foresee

Lying beside you

With you wanting me

And just for this moment

As long as you're mine

I've lost all resistance

And crossed some border line

And if it turns out

It's over too fast

I'll make every last moment last

As long as you're mine

[FIYERO:]

Maybe I'm brainless

Maybe I'm wise

But you've got me seeing

Through different eyes

Somehow I've fallen

Under your spell

And somehow I'm feeling

It's up that I fell

[BOTH:]

Every moment

As long as you're mine

I'll wake up my body

And make up for lost time

[FIYERO:]

Say there's no future

For us as a pair

[BOTH:]

And though I may know

I don't care

Just for this moment

As long as you're mine

Come be how you want to

And see how bright we shine

Borrow the moonlight

Until it is through

And know I'll be here

Holding you

As long as you're mine

[FIYERO:]

What is it?

[ELPHABA:]

It's just...

For the first time...

I feel... Wicked!

No Good Deed lyrics - Idina Menzel

(from "Wicked" soundtrack)

[ELPHABA:]

Fiyero!

Eleka nahmen nahmen

Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen

Eleka nahmen nahmen

Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen...

Let his flesh not be torn

Let his blood leave no stain

Though they beat him

Let him feel no pain

Let his bones never break

And however they try

To destroy him

Let him never die

Let him never die

Eleka nahmen nahmen

Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen

Eleka nahmen nahmen

Ah tum ah tum eleka... eleka...

Ugh! What good is this chanting?

I don't even know what I'm reading

I don't even know what trick I ought to try

Fiyero, where are you? Already dead or bleeding?

One more disaster I can add to my generous supply?

No good deed goes unpunished

No act of charity goes unresented

No good deed goes unpunished

That's my new creed

My road of good intentions

Led where such roads always lead

No good deed

Goes unpunished...

Nessa...

Doctor Dillamond...

Fiyero...

Fiyero!

One question haunts and hurts

Too much, too much to mention:

Was I really seeking good

Or just seeking attention?

Is that all good deeds are

When looked at with an ice-cold eye?

If that's all good deeds are

Maybe that's the reason why...

No good deed goes unpunished

All helpful urges should be circumvented

No good deed goes unpunished

Sure, I meant well

Well, look at what well-meant did...

All right, enough

So be it, so be it then

Let all Oz be agreed

I'm wicked through and through

Since I can not succeed

Fiyero, saving you

I promise no good deed

Will I attempt to do again

Ever again

No good deed will I do again!

March Of The Witch Hunters lyrics - Christopher Fitzgerald & Wicked Cast

(from "Wicked" soundtrack)

[Ozians:]

Go and hunt her

And find her

And kill her

[Vicious Woman:]

Good fortune, Witch Hunters!

[Ozians:]

Go and hunt her

And find her

And kill her

[Rabid Man:]

Kill the Witch!

[Ozians:]

Wickedness must be punished

Evil effectively eliminated

Wickedness must be punished

Kill the Witch!

[Tinman:]

And this is more than just a service to the Wizard

I have a personal score to settle with Elph-with

The Witch!

It's due to her I'm made of tin

Her spell made this occur

So for once I'm glad I'm heartless

I'll be heartless killing her!

And the lion also

Has a grievance to repay

If she'd let him fight his own battles

When he was young

He wouldn't be a coward today!

[Crowd:]

Kill her! Kill the witch!

[All:]

Wickedness must be punished

Brave Witch-Hunters, I would join you if I could

Because Wickedness must be punished

Punished

Punished

But good!

For Good lyrics - Idina Menzel (feat. Kristin Chenoweth)

(from "Wicked" soundtrack)

[Elphaba:]

I'm limited.

Just look at me.

I'm limited.

And just look at you.

You can do all I couldn't do.

Glinda...

So now it's up to you,

For both of us.

Now it's up to you.

[Glinda:]

I've heard it said,

That people come into our lives for a reason

Bringing something we must learn.

And we are led to those

Who help us most to grow if we let them.

And we help them in return.

Well, I don't know if I believe that's true

But I know I'm who I am today

Because I knew you.

Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes the sun,

Like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood.

Who can say if I've been changed for the better

But because I knew you

I have been changed for good.

[Elphaba:]

It well may be

That we will never meet again in this lifetime.

So, let me say before we part:

So much of me

Is made of what I learned from you.

You'll be with me like a handprint on my heart.

And now whatever way our stories end

I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend.

Like a ship blown from its mooring by a wind off the sea.

Like a seed dropped by a sky bird in a distant wood.

Who can say if I've been changed for the better

But because I knew you...

[Glinda:]

Because I knew you...

[Both:]

I have been changed for good.

[Elphaba:]

And just to clear the air

I ask forgiveness

For the things I've done,

You blame me for.

[Glinda:]

But then I guess,

We know there's blame to share.

[Both:]

And none of it seems to matter anymore.

Like a comet pulled from orbit

(Like a ship blown from its mooring)

As it passes the sun.

(By a wind off the sea)

Like a stream that meets a boulder

(Like a seed dropped by a bird)

Halfway through the wood.

(In the wood)

Who can say if I've been changed for the better.

I do believe I have been changed for the better.

[Glinda:]

And because I knew you...

[Elphaba:]

Because I knew you...

[Both:]

Because I knew you

I have been changed...

For good.

Finale: For Good (Reprise) lyrics - Idina Menzel, Kristin Chenoweth & Wicked Cast

(from "Wicked" soundtrack)

[Celebrants:]

No one mourns the Wicked

Now at last she's dead and gone

Now at last there's joy throughout the land

[All:]

Good news!

Good news!

[Glinda:]

Who can say if I've been changed for the better, but

[Elphaba & Glinda:]

Because I knew you

[Crowd:]

No one mourns the Wicked

[Glinda:]

Because I knew you

[Elphaba & Glinda:]

I have been changed

[Crowd:]

No one mourns the Wicked

Wicked!

Wicked!

Minuet lyrics - Idina Menzel

If we move in together

Will i still be a slob

Will things get ordinary

Will i piss you off

'cause I don't cook

Throw my clothes on the floor

And i mix the darks and whites

Oh baby your kisses are pure

And the sex lasts for hours

You want me the less I shower

I'm a sight for sore eyes

In your old tighy whities

But you love me anyway

I thank god for seeing the light

And not going out with some lawyer type

'cause your a poet

A renaissance man

A little boy with

Really strong hands

So many things going through my mind

Sometimes it gets scary

But when you're on my side

The world may be chaotic

The skies may explode

But we'll be okay

Baby-this much I know

And the minuet between the heart and

The breath

Is my lullby

And the minuet between the heart and

The breath

Rocks me every time

And the minuet between the heart and

The breath

Saves my life

As I lay upon your chest

I'm satisfied

I'd like to have babies with you

Like to have maybe two join a carpool and

Sing the kids to bed they can

Have your coloring and

My movie rental addiction

They can be antisocial just like us

And they can choose their very

Own religion they can climb into

Bed in the middle of the night and

Sleep in your arms, hypnotized

So many things going through my mind

Sometimes it gets scary

But when you're on my side

The world may be chaotic

The skies may explode

But we'll be okay

Baby-this much I know

And the minuet between the heart and

The breath

Is my lullby

And the minuet between the heart and

The breath

Rocks me every time

And the minuet between the heart and

The breath

Saves my life

As I lay upon your chest

I'm satisfied

Alright-everything's gonna be

Alright

Alright-everything's gonna be alright

So if all the things we want

Are just out of reach

We move to the midwest

And you start to teach

I'm a woulda, coulda, shoulda

A one hit wonder

I'm pretty sure we'd be okay

'cause if the skin on your chest

Still feels that way

From the sandalwood oil

That you dab in the middle

I think maybe, maybe

Baby...

We'd miss it-a little

Larissa's Lagoon lyrics - Idina Menzel

Down in Larissa's lagoon

She sits by the light of the moon

She's hearing voices in her head

She must be strong

She must not give in to their song

She's hearing voices in her head

Down in Larissa's lagoon

Her guests; they sleep in separate rooms

But her father comes to tuck her into bed

She's lost her mind

Got no control

And there's nowhere else to go

When her father comes to tuck her into bed

[Chorus:]

But Larissa woke up one morning singing,

"Hallelujah, remember me for my passion; the paradise that I imagined, hallelujah."

Down in Larissa's lagoon

The skies; they never look blue

'Cause someone spiked the rain

With a little extra juice

She thinks she's being followed

Any minute she'll be swallowed

Someone spiked this rain

With a little extra juice

[Chorus]

Hallelujah...hallelujah...hallelujah...hallelujah

Down in Larissa's lagoon

There is no force that's greater

Looming deep within a very, very, very troubled girl

She stays awake for hours

Picking out the sweetest flowers

To lay upon the grave of a very, very troubled girl

[Chorus]

Follow If You Lead lyrics - Idina Menzel

In this jury there are peddlers and disbelievers.

In this fountain there are silver dollars and penniless creatures.

It's your gravity and your hot air balloons

That keep you real and dare to dream with you.

But when they pull you too far you must learn to forgive

And you must ask your heart,

Will I lose a friend?

Striving to contend.

Will I destroy this trust

When I want the best for us?

Should I hold your hand

No matter what you plan?

For every hour you need

I will follow if you lead.

In this home there is family and just familiar faces.

In this pilgrimage we disavow our brothers and confide in strangers.

It's your gravity and your hot air balloons

That keep you real and dare to dream with you.

But when they pull you too far you must learn to forgive,

Or it will tear you apart.

Will I lose a friend?

Striving to contend.

Will I destroy this trust

When I want the best for us?

Should I hold your hand

No matter what you plan?

For every hour you need

I will follow if you...

Do you believe that the Earth was flat or round?

Do you bet you lived before or is this your first time around?

Do you believe we're here to learn?

Do you dream in black or white

Or are you coloring your lost and found to make it bright?

Oooh yeah...

Will I lose a friend?

Striving to contend.

Will I destroy this trust

When I want the best for us?

Should I hold your hand

No matter what you plan?

For every hour you need

I will follow if you lead.

Will I lose a friend?

Striving to contend.

Will I destroy this trust

When I want the best for us?

Should I hold your hand

No matter what you plan?

For every hour you need

I will follow if you lead.

Yeah, I will follow if you lead.

I will follow if you lead.

I will follow if you lead.

All Of The Above lyrics - Idina Menzel

I am your sexy girl

I am your baby girl

I am your innocence

I am your mother

I'm lady chatterly

Or lady chastity

Or some anonymous lover

I can be your little virgin

(at the commack inn)

Or your dominatrix

(in your parent's bed)

We'll play some spin the bottle

We'll play some Marvin Gaye

Or we can dress you up in women's clothing

Let's go shopping at the Pink Pussycat

You talk to the salesmen

I'll hide in the back

I may be bashful, but...

I got the cash 'cause...

I ain't afraid to try new things like that

Whatever you're thinking

Whatever your feeling

I'll be either one or

All of the above

Whatever you're thinking

Whatever your feeling

I'll be either one or

All of the above

I'm a wido in mourning

(longing for your love)

I'm the bride on her wedding say

(and you are not the groom)

I'm a singing telegram at 2 AM

Or the French maid who comes to clean your room

Let's go shopping at the Pink Pussycat

You talk to the salesmen

I'll hide in the back

I may be bashful, but...

I got the cash 'cause...

I ain't afraid to try new things like that

Whatever you're thinking

Whatever your feeling

I'll be either one or

All of the above

Whatever you're thinking

Whatever your feeling

I'll be either one or

All of the above

I'll keep you guessing, babe

You won't need confession, no

I'll be either one or

All of the above

Well I couldn't imagine

If I couldn't be myself

'cause if you're afraid to

Ask for what you want

Then you might rebel

But if you've got that combination

Where you can play some 'show and tell'

Well don't be shameful

I am your rainbow

Liberate your body and

Soothe your soul

I can be your babysitter

(who let you stay up late)

Or your best friend's mother

(really hot date)

Or you favorite cousin

(she taught you how to french kiss)

Or Miss Finigan from health class

I'm a school girl in knee socks

(with pig-tails in her hair)

I'm Aphrodite for dinner

(or Linda Carter)

I'm rose petals

I'm ruby wine

And if you want

I'l be the president's wife

Baby, won't you tell me...

Whatever you're thinking

Whatever you're feeling

I'll be either one or

All of the above...

Still I Can't Be Still lyrics - Idina Menzel

Well I don't believe in God

But she talks to me all the time

And I banish my mother

But she holds me when I cry

And I've been unfaithful

But with me he'll spend the rest of his life

And I have been forgiven

By all whom I've betrayed and love

And I have everything I want

Is it ever enough?

Still I can't be still

Still I can't be silent

Still I can't be still

Still I can't be saved

Still I can't be still

Still I can't be silent

Still I'm....still

Well I don't believe I'm beautiful

But at least I have my sister's smile

And I resist the muses

But they sing to me in exile

And destiny's not deafening

But it hushed me like a child

And everytime I feel as though I'm

Closer to the eye

The storm winds blow, I run inside

And though I feel revived

Still I can't be still

Still I can't be silent

Still I can't be still

Still I can't be saved

Still I can't be still

I can't be silent

Still I'm....still

The insatiable peace

My quest for, for true serenity, yeah

No matter how hard the rain, the thirst

The thirst is neverending

No matter how many friends or angels been sent down to

To take me away

They can't make it okay

They can't make it okay

And everytime I feel as though I'm

Closer to the eye

The storm winds blow, I run inside

And though I feel revived

Yes, everytime I feel as though I'm

Closer to the eye

The storm winds blow, I run inside

And though I feel revived

I don't believe I'm beautiful

At least I've got my sister's smile

I resist the muses

But they sing to me in exile

Think Too Much lyrics - Idina Menzel

Do you think about the moon?

Made you feel real special 'cause

It followed you everywhere

Do you think about the sun showers?

The way you like to run naked in them and

Shampoo your hair

Do you think about why we sneeze in the sun?

Wish my freckles would just leave us alone

Do you think about when you're older

Will they make a Sunday night movie

About your life?

You think you got tattoos

Your grandkids are gonna like?

[Chorus:]

Well is your cup half empty? Is your cup half full?

Whatcha gonna be

When you grow up?

Are you a gym teacher,

Rock star, or superhero

In a major motion picture

Action feature, creature?

Over and over figure it out

Maybe today we'll find the message in the clouds

Maybe tomorrow we'll crush a

Nickel on a railroad track

Time is running out I think I think too much

Do you think about the guy

That you first kissed?

Yeah his tongue went in circles

Practically missed your lips

Do you think he's now the world's greatest lover?

Or sitting at home

Watching CNN on TNT or TV?

Do you think about your past life?

Were you a countess, or

A vagabond or James Bond or

Yeah, but bisexual

Do you think I should care what you think?

[Chorus]

Do you think about all the books

You haven't read?

Are you a street smart cat

Or are you just an intellect?

Do you think about this now:

The girl who made you miserable

In junior high; made you cry?

Do you thinks she's smoking

Like five packs of cigarettes a day

And going to therapy...

Wait I wasn't finished

[Chorus]

Do you think it's normal

For white people to wear dreadlocks?

Are you a barefoot earthling

Or a hermit in socks

Guys in tuxedos are

Kind of deceiving

But you know, you see them in the park, jogging along

It's a little more revealing

Do you think about your funeral?

If you died how many people

Are gonna show up?

Do you think we're capable of change

Or we're just gonna, oh screw up our children?

Do you think about fires-

Who do you rescue first

Your kids or your sleeping husband?

Planet Z lyrics - Idina Menzel

Sitting in my easy chair

I got no friends but I really don't care

I don't remember birthdays

I don't remember names

People talking to me

I know not what they say

Well my political policy is lassisez-faire

You keep off my, my thoroughfare

My weeds grow like roses

My gardens like greed

My temples are discoteques for refugees

It's all about me

On my very own Planet Z

Where I'm lonely, but I'm free

Nothing gets in my way

I think I'm gonna have to stay

Right here

On my very own Planet Z

Where I'm lonely, but I'm free

No, nothing gets in my way

I think I'm gonna have to stay

Right here

Well my pizza delivery guys, they all wear suits

And all my musicians, they play in the nude

The lawyers wear nipple rings

They kiss my ass

And the french horn players

Are in the most demand

It's all about me

On my very own Planet Z

Where I'm lonely, but I'm free

Nothing gets in my way

I think I'm gonna have to stay

Right here

On my very own Planet Z

Where I'm lonely, but I'm free

Nothing gets in my way

I think I'm gonna have to stay

Right here

10....9....8....7....6....5...4....3....

Planet Z

You can't predict the weather but it's fine with me

Can't you see

I don't like when you bother me

Planet Z

The stars are brighter in my galaxy

Thirteen moons

Revolve around, around, around

It's all about me

On my very own Planet Z

Where I'm lonely, but I'm free

Nothing gets in my way

I think I'm gonna have to stay

Well these lovely little snowflakes are everywhere

They're the spitballs that you blew in my air

Well I won't remember your birthday

I won't remember your name

Just keep talking to me

I'm not listening

It's all about me

On my very own Planet Z

It's all about me

On my very own Planet Z

It's all about me

On my very own Planet Z

It's all about me

On my very own Planet Z

It's all about me

On my very own Planet Z

Fool Out Of Me lyrics - Idina Menzel

Hey - Just when you think you are the shit

Well, you look down and your fly is unzipped

That's when you take a moment to say,

"Well, sometimes I'm so totally unhip."

Just when the great ones inspire you

To throw caution to the wind

That's when the mirror mirror on the wall says,

"Babe, you better throw your towel in."

[Chorus:]

All that I don't know

Paralyzes me

But somehow I keep going on

Just settling for this mediocrity

And I wonder if god is trying to make a fool out of me

[repeat]

[repeat]

There are legends who die

And I've never even heard their songs

And there are heroes of a generation

Whose poetry is not on my shelf

And my soliloquies would make Shakespeare

Turn over in his grave

And voyagers would forbid me

To join in their crusade

[Chorus]

I wish I could fight against Ali and win

I wish I could write with Joni Mitchell's pen

Sail the Atlantic on a paddle boat

I wish I could smile like Bobby de Niro

I wish that the lotto was the number of my telephone

I wish I could sing a duet with Bono

'Cause I don't want to sound like

Anyone else, you know

I just wanna take you under my spell

Excuse me for saying

What I know down deep is my sin

But maybe I'll fool everybody into thinking

I know just what I am doing

[Chorus]

Reach lyrics - Idina Menzel

Slowly

Softly

Please serenade me, I'm here

Restless

Reviving

River of life, you are here

Tell me you love me

Tell me you see me

Show me your laughter

Feed me

Tell me you love me

I'll know what you need

Raise your hand

And reach for me

Reach for me

Silent

Slumber

Sweetheart, your thunder is my thorn

Bathing

Beauty

Ballad of bliss, you are born

Tell me you love me

Tell me you see me

Show me your laughter

Oh, won't you feed me

Tell me you love me

I'll know what you need

Raise your hand

And reach for me

Oh baby, won't you reach for me

Pretty

Precious

Prism in darkness, you make me proud

Fragile

Fondly

Finally, a new day we have found

Tell me you love me

Tell me you see me

Show me your laughter

Oh, won't you feed me

Tell me you love me

I'll know what you need

Oh baby, won't you raise your hand

Won't you raise your hand

And reach for me

Straw Into Gold lyrics - Idina Menzel

I wonder if you sleep right now

Do you realize I'm clinging to

The edge of this bed I have

Nowhere to go--I have nowhere

If I leave you'll call me quitter

If I stay you'll punish me with silence and somehow

You'll fall asleep...You'll fall asleep

[Chorus:]

Well do you know that I won't sleep--No I won't sleep all night

Long

As your silhouette turns its back on my spoon

I'm mesmerized by the ricochet moon

Leaping this leprechaun's ["Rumplestiltskin's" in next chorus] wall

I'm so disenchanting

Intoxicated by my own tear's soul

And come tomorrow

When my beauty is old

Like a speckled princess

I'll try to cash in clovers for gold

So I'll light a candle and begin to

Write, turn to my work as refuge

Though my womb is a rush hour taxi

Ride, but I will try

To metamorphose pain along my plight

But I'll despise each word I write

So I am clinging to the

Edge like some soap-opera star

With her ten second fade

As the light cascades

Do you love me anymore?

[Chorus]

I'll try to spin straw into gold

Straw into gold...Straw into gold...Straw into gold

Spinning for mercy

Spinning for hope

Spinning for love

Spinning for gold

Heart On My Sleeve lyrics - Idina Menzel

She will never be invincible

She will never be some Florence Nightingale

Her thresholds invisible but she'll hang on like hell

Yeah, she may be transparent

She's got no defenses to speak of

But she'll stand here before you with no pride or prejudice

Just steadfast and certain she'll land on her own two feet

You'll think you can break her

'Cause you think that she's crazy and weak

But her power will defy you when she wears her heart on her sleeve

Heart on her sleeve

She will never learn you're tranquility

She will never learn how to let things slide off her

Joy over whelm her and her sorrow won't subside

Yeah, she still may be transparent

She got no got no defenses to speak of

But she will stand here before you with no pride or prejudice

Just steadfast and certain that she'll land on her own two feet

You think you can break her

'Cause you think that she's crazy and weak

But her power will defy you when she wears her heart on her sleeve

Oh, you may condemn me

With your bitter words and untouchable rage

Yeah, you may torment me

'Cause I don't lead my life in your way

But I will stand here before you with no pride or prejudice

Just steadfast and certain that I will land on my own two feet

You think you can break me

Bring my head down to my knees

But my power will defy you when my heart's on my sleeve

A Hero Comes Home lyrics - Idina Menzel

(from "Beowulf" soundtrack)

Out of the mist of history

He'll come again

Sailing on ships across the sea

To a wounded Nation

Signs of a saviour

Like fire on the water

It's what we prayed for

One of our own

Just wait

Though wide he may roam

Always

A hero comes home

He goes where no one has gone

But always

A hero comes home

Deep in the heart of darkness sparks

A dream of light

Surrounded by hopelessness

He finds the will to fight

There's no surrender

Always remember

It doesn't end here

We're not alone

Just wait

Though wide he may roam

Always

A hero comes home

He goes where no one has gone

But always

A hero comes home

And he will come back on the crimson tide

Dead or alive

And even though we know the bridge has burned

He will return

He will return

Just wait

Though wide he may roam

Always

A hero comes home

He knows of places unknown

Always

A hero comes home

Someday they'll carve in stone

"The hero comes home"

He goes and comes back alone

But always

A hero comes home

Just wait

Though wide he may roam

Always

A hero comes home

A Tree Of Life lyrics - Idina Menzel

Hmmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm

Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm

Mmm, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm

Mmm, hmm-mmm, mmm-mmm

Hold my hand, I won't let go

This sacred house now echoes

But it's still our home

The light and dark, the glass and slate

With every sun that rises

The shadows fade

Search deep inside and you'll find

The hope remains

There's peace that lies beyond the pain

Place a stone beside their names

No soon forgotten

The tears we cried are staying the same

We all are human

No matter your prayer

There's life for us to share

I'll hold you tight

Beneath the tree of life

Rest your head upon my shoulder

The leaves that give us shelter

We grow strong together

The earth might shake, the winds may blow

But these deep roots will

Keep us standing tall

So just hold on

We'll walk back through those doors

And we'll begin

To fill our home with joy, and again

So raise a candle in their names

'Cause we're not broken

Heavy hearts all beat the same

We all are human

No matter your prayer

There's life for us to share

I'll hold you tight

Beneath the tree of li-i-i-i-ife

Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh, oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Hmm, mmm-mmm, mmm, mmm

All Hail The Queen lyrics - Idina Menzel

Mother, be like the Northern Sky

Open and wide

You should be free

Mother, come let me dry your eyes

You need an angel

Let it be me

So let us rise

To where your dreams meet the sky

And leave this town

Gather the jewels for your crown

All - All hail the queen

Woman, ever so lonely

And you should be broken

Be not ashamed.

I wonder what have you compromised?

Whisper an answer

And I'll take you away

So let us rise

To where your dreams meet the sky

And leave this town

Gather the jewels for your crown

All - All hail the queen

[repeat]

Hail the queen

Mother, be like the Northern Sky

Open and wide

You should be free

Now you should be free

American River lyrics - Idina Menzel

Some people seek adventure

Some people long for rest

Still others search for wisdom

When our Land's put to the test

Tears of challenge, joy, and love

The river knows them well

And no matter what we're dreaming of

The river takes us in its spell

With timeless tales to tell

What tales to tell

I've got a wish tonight

I've got a hope for us to share

And as those rivers flow

I dream of being with you where

We can finally be

One nation truly free

Flowing the river

Flowing like the many rivers

Flowing like the many rivers

To one sea

One sea

Some rivers will run slowly

Some race to reach the end

The course straight as an arrow

Or it snakes from bend to bend

Through long nights, through golden days

The river journeys on

In a winter chill or summer haze

The river bids our cares be gone

There's safe harbor come the dawn

Let's breathe the dawn

And I've got a wish tonight

I've got a hope for us to share

And as those rivers flow

I dream of being with you where

We can finally be

One nation truly free

Flowing the river

Flowing like the many rivers

Flowing like the many rivers

To one sea

Like ribbons through the land

They connects us to each other

When we seek to understand

The river comforts like a mother

And along the river's shore

We all become part of the story

Oh, I've got a wish tonight (I've got a wish)

I've got a hope for us to share

And as those rivers flow

I dream of being with you where

We can finally be

One nation truly free

Flowing the river

Flowing like the many rivers

Flowing like the many rivers

To one sea

(The river tells a story)

(Of a people and a land)

Baby It's Cold Outside lyrics - Idina Menzel (duet with Michael Bublé)

(Music video version)

I really can't stay

Baby, it's cold outside

I gotta go away

Baby, it's cold outside

This evening has been

Been hoping that you'd drop in

So very nice

I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice

My mother will start to worry

Beautiful, what's your hurry?

My father will be pacing the floor

Listen to that fire place roar

So really I'd better scurry

Beautiful, please don't hurry

But maybe just a soda-pop more

I'll put some records on while I pour

The neighbors might think

Baby, it's bad out there

Say, was that a wink?

No cabs to be had out there

I wish I knew how

Your eyes are like starlight now

To break this spell

I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

I ought to get home for dinner

Mind if I move in closer?

So, it's time for me to cast you aside

What's the sense of hurting my pride?

I really can't stay

Baby, don't hold out

Baby, it's cold outside

I simply must go

Baby, it's cold outside

So thanks for the show

But, baby, it's cold outside

(come on)

The welcome has been

How lucky that you dropped in

So nice and warm

Look out the window at that storm

My sister will be suspicious

Gosh, your lips look delicious

My brother will be there at the door

Waves upon a tropical shore

My maiden aunt's mind is vicious

Gosh, your lips are delicious

Maybe just another dance more

Never such a blizzard before

I gotta get home

Baby, you'll freeze out there

Say, lend me your comb

It's up to your knees out there

You've really been grand

I feel when I touch your hand

But don't you see

How can you do this thing to me?

There's bound to be talk tomorrow

Think of my life-long sorrow

At least there will be plenty implied

If you got pneumonia and died

I really can't stay

Get over that hold-out

Baby, it's cold

Baby, it's cold outside

Bridge Over Troubled Water lyrics - Idina Menzel

(originally by Simon & Garfunkel)

When you're weary, feeling small

When tears are in your eyes

I will dry them all

I'm on your side

When times get rough

And friends, they just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

When you're down and out

When you're on the street

When evening falls so hard

I will comfort you

I'll take your part

When darkness comes

And pain is all around

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Sail on, silver girl

Sail on by

Your time has come to shine

All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine

Oh if you need a friend

I'm sailing right behind

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind

I will ease

I will ease your mind

Silver girl yeah

I will ease your... your mind

Come Rain Or Shine lyrics - Idina Menzel

I'm gonna love you

Like nobody's loved you,

Come rain or come shine.

High as a mountain,

Deep as a river...

Come rain or come shine.

I guess, when you met me,

It was just one of those... Things.

But don't ever bet me,

'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me.

You're gonna love me

Like nobody's loved me

Come rain or come shine.

Happy together,

Unhappy together.

Now, wouldn't it be so fine?

Days may cloudy or sunny.

We're in or we're out of the money,

But I'm with you always.

I'm with your rain or shine.

Oooh...

[Instrumental]

You...

You're gonna love me, like,

Like nobody's loved me,

Come rain or shine.

Happy together.

Oh, Oh, happy together...

Now wouldn't it be so fine?

Days may be cloudy or sunny.

We're in or we're out of the money,

But I'm with you always....

I'm with you rain or...

Babv, I'm with you rain or

Shine.

Shine...

Yeah.

Damsel In Distress lyrics - Idina Menzel

Ooh, you got big muscles rippling

Underneath your shirt

I'm so glad to meet you, baby

Tell me, what do you do for work?

Me? I'm just a housewife

So sad and all alone

Desperate for a strong man

To help me fix my home

I know I must look a sight

In this--this flimsy little dress

Won't you try your very best

To save a damsel in distress?

I've got tasty treats to tempt you

Come and sit down on my couch

I'm sure it won't take long

To figure all my problems out

My home, it needs attention

It's such a big old mess

Take out your trusty tool

And save this damsel in distress

Now, you need no invitation, baby

Just walk in and shut the door

Follow the red rose petals that I've left

Scattered on the floor

I'll be upstairs waiting

With a wisp of honeydew

Customize and tell a maid

For a handed man like you

You know, I'd be so grateful

If you'd come relieve my stress

Won't you heed my S.O.S.

And save a damsel in distress?

Oh, yeah!

Oh! Yea-ay

So sweet

I got the need if you're willing to please

Trust me

I make it so good that you won't wanna leave

I got tasty treats to tempt you

Come and sit down on my couch

I'm sure it won't take long

To figure all my problems out

My home, it needs attention

It's such a big old mess

Take out your trusty tool

And save this damsel in distress

Now what's a girl to do?

I'm just a--a damsel in--in distress, yeah

Oh-- little old me, baby

What you want for dinner, baby?!

Oh! Yeah!

Dream Girl lyrics - Idina Menzel

(from "Cinderella" soundtrack)

I don't care, this is life

It's not fair, it's not right

All that hope and that pride

It's a waste, it's a lie

All you want is to breathe

Little girls should run free

But your corset's too tight

And your heels are too high

This treasure you've found, bury it

The only way out, marry it

That shadow of doubt, carry it

Carry it down to your grave

The world doesn't need another dream girl

The world doesn't need another dream girl

You're too dumb, you're too young

Full of heart, so naïve

You're so blind, you're so green

You'll give up, just like me

The wings ornamental

They have no intention of letting you fly

Don't be sentimental

Some legends are born in the wrong time

This treasure you've found (Bury it)

The only way out (Marry it)

That shadow of doubt (Carry it)

Carry it down to your grave

(Bury it, marry it, carry it)

Carry it down to your grave (Marry it)

Your grave (Marry it), your grave (Carry it)

(Bury it) bury it, (Marry it) marry it, (Carry it) carry it

(The world doesn't need another dream girl)

(Bury it) bury it, (Marry it) marry it, (Carry it) carry it

(The world doesn't need another dream girl)

(Bury it) bury it, (Marry it) marry it, (Carry it) carry it

Carry it down to your grave (Your grave, your grave)

The world doesn't need another dream girl

Dream Girl (Nile Rodgers Remix) lyrics - Idina Menzel & Cinderella Original Motion Picture Cast

(from "Cinderella" soundtrack)

The world doesn't need another dream girl

The world doesn't need another dream girl

I don't care, this is life

It's not fair, it's not right

All that hope and that pride

It's a waste, it's a lie

All you want is to breathe

Little girls should run free

But your corset is too tight

And your heels are too high

This treasure you found bury it

The only way out marry it

That shadow of doubt carry it

Carry it down to your grave

The world doesn't need another dream girl

The world doesn't need another dream girl

You're too dumb, you're too young

Full of heart, so naive

You're so blind, you're so green

You'll give up, just like me

The wings are ornamental

(Bury it) bury it, (Marry it) marry it, (Carry it) carry it

(The world doesn't need another dream girl)

(Bury it) bury it, (Marry it) marry it, (Carry it) carry it

Carry it down to your grave (Your grave, your grave, your grave)

Down to your damn grave

There's no way out, no, we don't have a choice

Let always win and let reuse our voice

Don't you know you're living

Don't you know you're living

Don't you know you're living, without choice

The world doesn't need another dream girl

The world doesn't need another dream girl

Another dream girl

The world doesn't need another dream girl

Forevermore lyrics - Idina Menzel

These are just the three degrees of

Failing.

First it's in your voice and how it's

Trailing.

I can tell my grip on you is

Fading.

'Cause I can feel your disposition

Changing.

So say that this is still where I belong

Or tell me I'm wrong.

And I'll put my bags down

And close the door.

And we'll get back to our forevermore.

I can't look at you

It hurts too - Too much to...

Like a ghost you're here

But I can't touch you.

So just pretend you're blind and you can't see me.

And we will drift apart and sail on

Freely.

God Save My Soul lyrics - Idina Menzel

Who toke the sunlight out of your sky?

Who watched as life was passing you by?

Who let the truth turn into a lie?

It was I, it was I

Who said I'll be there if you just wait?

Went the time came it was too late

Who broke your wings so you couldn't fly?

It was I, it was I

I take the blame

But who else should

I'd change the past

If only I could

And keep you safe

And keep you whole

I'd take the blame

God save my soul

Who swore to answer all your prayers?

Heal all your bruises

Dry all your tears

Who wasn't there and can tell you why

It was I, it was I

I say your name

I lie awake

It seems the dawn will never break

One day for me

The bell will toll

I say your name

God save my soul

Who toke the sunlight out of your sky?

Who watched as life was passing you by?

Who let the truth turn into a lie?

It was I, it was I

I take the blame

But who else should

I'd change the past

If only I could

And keep you safe

And keep you whole

I'd take the blame

God save my soul
