Wonderful - From "Wicked" Original Broadway Cast Recording/2003

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