Here lyrics - Idina Menzel
Oh, yeah, mmm.
Oh, sweet revelation got me
Levitating over ground
Life and all its vibrations
No, I'm never coming down.
Oh, you're my own superhero
Keeps watching over me
I like it when you say
My green eyes are your constellations
To some light house in the sea
If your car stalls in the middle of the road in snow,
I know, I know you'll be here.
Lights out, in all of the city, black out no doubt.
I know you'll be here.
River flows through the streets, and the homes are floating.
I know you'll be here.
Stranded in the middle of China, they'll find ya.
I know you'll be here.
I'll be waiting by the window with a view of the park at night.
No matter how long it takes ya,
Never fails, you come through every night.
If your car stalls in the middle of the road in snow,
I know, I know you'll be here.
Lights out, in all of the city, black out no doubt.
I know you'll be here.
River flows through the streets, and the homes are floating.
I know you'll be here.
Stranded in the middle of China, they'll find ya.
I know you'll be here.
Here, at the speed of lightning
Here, where the sun is shining
Oh, with the stars aligning
Here, oh, here.
If your car stalls in the middle of the road in snow,
I know, I know you'll be here.
Lights out, in all of the city, black out no doubt.
I know you'll be here.
River flows through the streets, and the homes are floating.
I know you'll be here.
Stranded in the middle of China, they'll find ya.
I know you'll be here.
If your car stalls in the middle of the road in snow,
I know, I know you'll be here.
Lights out, in all of the city, black out no doubt.
I know you'll be here.
River flows through the streets, and the homes are floating.
I know you'll be here.
Stranded in the middle of China, they'll find ya.
I know you'll be here.
Here, ooh.
I'll be waiting.
Oh, I'll be waiting.
Oh, I'll be waiting, yeah.
I'll be waiting right here in this corner, mmm.
Oh, I'll be waiting, baby. Yeah.
You'd Be Surprised lyrics - Idina Menzel
You'd be surprised at all that I've become.
You'd be surprised, I've changed while you've been gone,
And I learned so much more from you than I could ever say.
If you were here, I think that you'd stay...
You'd be surprised how far these arms can reach.
You'd be surprised there's a promise I can keep.
Would you believe that I seldom fall to pieces anymore?
If you were here, you'd like what you saw.
You'd be surprised my life is often sweet.
You'd be surprised it's you who brings me peace...
And for some unearthly reason it takes losing you to see,
If you were here, I'd know just what you'd need.
You'd be surprised I've loved you all along.
You'd be surprised I now confess when I am wrong,
And I see the world around me in a slightly softer shade.
If you were here, you wouldn't walk away...
You'd be surprised if you were here...
We'd make time for all that's disappeared.
And I would hold you like I never could.
You'd be surprised if you were here...
We'd make it right; there'd be no tears,
And you'd confide in me and I'd be there.
I'd be there...
You'd be surprised at all that I've become...
You'd be surprised.
If I Told You lyrics - Idina Menzel
If I told you that I lie sometimes,
If I told you that I'd run away,
If I told you who I was before,
Would you follow me?
If I told you that I sneak sometimes,
If I told you that I love too much,
If I showed you the other side,
Would you follow me?
Cause I'm shedding my skin
So you can see my face,
I need you to know who I am.
I'm ready to go where I've never been,
Will you stay around and follow me?
Yeah...
If I told you the earth was square,
If I told you water wasn't wet,
If I told you life was fair,
Would you follow me?
Ohhhh...
Cause I'm shedding my skin
So you can see my face,
I need you to know who I am.
I'm ready to go where I've never been,
Will you stay around and follow me?
To the furthest moon and back,
Jupiter and Mars and all that,
To the middle of a galaxy,
On the smallest raft...
I don't know if I can be sure
Of anything I believed before...
Will you follow me?
Cause I'm shedding my skin
So you can see my face,
I need you to know who I am.
I'm ready to go where I've never been,
Will you stay around and follow me?
To the moon and back,
Jupiter and Mars and all that...
Penny lyrics - Idina Menzel
Don't know much about practicing what I preach,
Don't know how to be envious without jealousy,
Don't know how to hold my temper, when I have to get in the last word,
Don't know how to speak softly and still be heard,
But before I lose everything and everyone who loves me...
God if you're listening would you have a message sent?
Cause I need to be a better lover, brother, and a friend.
God if you're listening would you come up with some change?
Cause I wake up every morning with a penny to my name.
Don't know much about love cause I get the same crap from every guy,
Don't know how to see the grass being greener on my side,
Don't know much about wisdom without being jaded,
Don't know how to take criticism without feeling hated,
But before I lose everything and everyone who loves me...
God if you're listening would you have a message sent?
Cause I need to be a better lover, brother, and a friend.
God if you're listening would you come up with some change?
Cause I wake up every morning with a penny to my name.
Whoa man, I'm everything I said I wouldn't be,
Standing here with nothing, will you help me?
Don't know how to tell a joke without putting my foot in my mouth,
Don't know how to be intimate if I don't have a crowd,
Don't know how to be hopeful, what if they let me down?
I don't know how to keep myself from hurting everyone...
God if you're listening would you have a message sent?
Cause I need to be a better lover, brother, and a friend.
God if you're listening would you come up with some change?
Cause I wake up every morning with a penny to my name.
God if you're listening would you have a message sent?
Cause I need to be a better lover, brother, and a friend.
God if you're listening would you come up with some change?
Cause I wake up every morning with a penny to my name.
Oh, God, I don't know much about nothing.
No, so give me a break.
Anyway, won't anybody listen to me?
Oh, oh.
Once Upon A Time lyrics - Idina Menzel
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put us back together again.
We huffed and we puffed,
And we blew this house down.
We tried. Yeah, we tried.
The sticks and the stones were breakin my bones,
And the names that were said kinda hurt us.
Riddle me this and riddle me that.
What went wrong? What went wrong?
When did the sun stop shining?
When did we turn into two divided?
I guess we will never really know why,
But I remember once upon a time.
Sometimes I wish upon a star
To give you a reason to give me your heart.
Rock-a-bye baby, you rocked me goodbye.
Tell me why. Tell me why.
When did the sun stop shining?
When did we turn into two divided?
I guess we will never really know why,
But I remember once upon a time.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put us back together again.
We huffed and we puffed,
And we blew this house down.
We tried, yeah, oh, we tried...
Oh, you know we tried...
When did the sun stop shining?
When did we turn into two divided?
I guess we will never really know why,
But I remember, yeah, I remember.
When did the sun, when did the sun stop shining?
When did we turn into two divided?
I guess we will never really know why,
But I remember once upon a time.
Once upon a time...
So Beautiful lyrics - Idina Menzel
Sometimes I watch you when you're sleeping
I see you're having dreams tonight
And I know just by the way you're breathing.
That I'm a vision in your mind
Wherever you may go my love,
Wherever you may be.
And all that matters in this world
Is just lying next to me
So sleep tight sweetheart, you're free
So beautiful, you make me smile
So wonderful, you're in my life
Incredible, that you are mine.
So beautiful, you give me life
You bring me joy you bring me sight
I watch the way you love your family
And how everyone looks to you
And I don't want to be here standing
If you didn't hold me, Baby hold me up like you do
Wherever I may go, my love
Wherever I may be
I know my dreams will find you
Just lying next to me
So sleep tight sweetheart, you're free
So beautiful, you make me smile
So wonderful, you're in my life
Incredible, that you are mine.
So beautiful, you give me life
You bring me joy you bring me sight
You help me see
The woman that I know I am,
But always was afraid to be
You show me how live every moment like it's the last
And be all that I am
You're so beautiful
So beautiful, you make me smile
So wonderful, you're in my life
Incredible, that you are mine.
So beautiful, you give me life
You bring me joy you bring me sight
You're so, so, so beautiful
Baby

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

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)
