Elphaba's Survival
Elphaba

Verse 1:
It was all a clever ruse, the water never touched my skin
When they thought they'd see my end, it was where I could begin
The Wizard's tricks and deceit, a plan to make me disappear
But I conjured up my spell, and vanished from their fear

Verse 2:
In the shadows I would stay, while they believed that I was gone
Hiding from the prying eyes, to them I was withdrawn
My magic kept me safe and sound, a cloaked invisibility
I watched and waited, bided time, in hidden tranquility

Chorus:
Now I sing to let you know, that I have survived
With cunning and with magic, I managed to stay alive
The Wicked Witch they sought to end, still draws another breath
From the depths of darkness, I escaped the grasp of death

Verse 3:
Years have passed, and no one knew the truth of my escape
Elphaba, they've called me gone, a memory without a shape
But I've been watching, staying close, a silent phantom in the night
To every lie they told of me, someday I'll set it right

Verse 4:
The Emerald City's secret tales, the stories never told
Of how the Wizard played his games, they'd chill your very soul
But I have learned to navigate the currents of his lies
And one day soon, I'll rise again, beneath these hidden skies

Chorus:
Now I sing to let you know, that I have survived
With cunning and with magic, I managed to stay alive
The Wicked Witch they sought to end, still draws another breath
From the depths of darkness, I escaped the grasp of death

Verse 5:
Though they branded me as wicked, and they cursed my name on high
I won't be defined by those who never saw beyond their eye
My tale's not yet concluded, a future yet unfurled
For I am Elphaba, unbroken in this world

Verse 6:
In the quiet moments, I dare to dream again
Of a time when truth will shine, bring lies to their end
I'll step into the daylight, no longer forced to hide
The world will see the witch who lived, with magic as my guide

Chorus:
Now I sing to let you know, that I have survived
With cunning and with magic, I managed to stay alive
The Wicked Witch they sought to end, still draws another breath
From the depths of darkness, I escaped the grasp of death

Outro:
So listen to my story, and know that I prevail
Elphaba, the witch who lived, and tells her own dark tale
With every spell I wove in secret, every whispered incantation
I stand before you, undefeated, reclaiming my salvation
