(Verse 1 - Glinda) In the mirror's gaze, I see a girl so unsure A reflection stares, with a heart that's pure We can build her, a new foundation strong A sense of self, where love and courage belong
Elphaba: ( voice filled with emotion) "I've been trying to fit in for so long, Glinda. I've been trying to be someone I'm not. But I think it's time I be myself, no matter how 'wicked' that may seem."
(Chorus - Both) We can build her, with every step and every fall We can build her, and make her stand tall With every piece of her, we'll make her whole We can build her, and make her soul unfold
(Bridge - Elphaba) I'll take the pieces, of my shattered past I'll make them into, something that will last I'll rise up, from the ashes like a phoenix born I'll be the one, who's not afraid to be sworn
(Chorus - Both) We can build her, with every step and every fall We can build her, and make her stand tall With every piece of her, we'll make her whole We can build her, and make her soul unfold
Elphaba: (smirks) "Misunderstood? That's just a nice way of saying I'm hated by everyone."
