I don’t think I could stand it If we don’t let all of Oz know We’ve gotta tell them, Elphie They have to know the truth That the world they’ve been living in Is built on your pain and more [Pre-Chorus: Glinda] So why can’t we try? I left you once, I can’t again It left me hollow within This time, with you I will fly [Chorus: Glinda] I am with you for goodness’ sake I’ll stand with you in the fire No more playing their games You are my only desire [Verse 2: Elphaba] I’ve done far too much wickedness To still be considered redeemable Every good thing comes to nothing, And you know I’ve been unstable So don’t say they need to know I’ve already tried, and no one listened There’s only one option left What they need is a villain [Pre-Chorus: Together] But why can’t we try? I left you once, I can’t again It left me hollow within This time, with you I will fly [Chorus: Together] I am with you for goodness’ sake I’ll stand with you in the fire No more playing their games You are my only desire I held back my heart too long, I let them play me like a string But I’m done dancing along It’s time I spread my wings [Bridge: Together] No more division, No more drawing lines in the sand We now stand in the same vision And we’ll predict the Wizard’s hand No more hiding in shadows, No more running from this feeling From enemies to friends, And now something is blooming [Final Chorus: Together] I am with you for goodness’ sake I’ll stand with you in the fire No more playing their games You are my only desire I held back my love for too long, Afraid of what you’d think Now there’s little left of a cost, And now you have given me wings #pridemonth #gelphie #wicked
