Verse 1:
When they poured the water, thought I'd meet my end
But magic runs deeper, than they comprehend
The Wizard's tricks, the crowd believed in haste
Little did they know, it was all just a waste
Chorus:
I survived the melting scene, oh, they were deceived
My powers kept me hidden, and I was reprieved
Years in shadows, whispers of my name
But Elphaba's alive, it's not just a game
Verse 2:
In the darkest corners, I found my new disguise
With every spell I cast, they couldn't recognize
The green still shows, but courage never fades
I am the girl who the Wizard betrayed
Chorus:
I survived the melting scene, oh, they were deceived
My powers kept me hidden, and I was reprieved
Years in shadows, whispers of my name
But Elphaba's alive, it's not just a game
Bridge:
The Wizard's lies, they can no longer harm me
I've found my strength, beyond the charms, you see
In the fabric of Oz, I still weave my thread
A story of resilience, not of dread
Chorus:
I survived the melting scene, oh, they were deceived
My powers kept me hidden, and I was reprieved
Years in shadows, whispers of my name
But Elphaba's alive, it's not just a game
Outro:
Now I stand in the light, no longer just a myth
The truth is out, I’ve made my final shift
From hiding in the corners to living out loud
The Wicked Witch of the West, strong and proud
