A curtain falls, the world believes
But I emerged from smoke and leaves
The water's touch, it wasn't real
A wizard's trick, my fate concealed
I ran through shadows, cast a spell
Into the night where secrets dwell
Hid from the eyes that sought my fall
In the silence of these castle halls
Years drift by, yet I remain
Invisible within the rain
Potions brewed and spells recited
In the dark, where I'm united
Magic's power kept me at bay
A force the Wizard could not sway
My heart beats strong, my will unyielding
In the cloaked night, I've been healing
Don't let them say the girl was gone
For here I stand with darkness drawn
Elphaba, she still survives
In every breath, in every rise
The Wizard's lies won't be my end
With every spell I might transcend
I'll tell the world, my story's true
That green-faced girl? She's standing, too
So listen close, for I am here
A tale of strength will now appear
From melting pots to shadows deep
Elphaba awakens from her sleep
