Making Good - Stephanie J. Block/Stephen Schwartz

作词：Stephen Schwartz

作曲：Stephen Schwartz

That hatchet face hag

Who was pointing at me with a sneer

I don't see her

Those giggling girls with the whispers

They want me to hear

I don't hear them

The boy with a spiffle behind me

If I suddenly turn

Oh look he's lost his nerve

Right now i'm their prey

Right now i'm their quarry

But there'll come a day

They all will be sorry

And sorry will be all that they deserve

At long long last I'm making my way

Out of here

Erase the past

It's as of today clean and clear

Today I start my quest

To find my special destiny

Do more than just the best I could

'Cause in my gut

I know I can do something great

I don't know what yet

But when I'm through

Just you wait

When they see all I've done

They'll tell me you're so wonderful

We wish back then we'd understood

You'd be making good

Good I'll be making good

Undertaking new inventions or discoveries

Maybe find a cure for some disease

Maybe I could make world hunger cease

Or else maybe paint a masterpiece

Something that astounds

Something that amazes

Something that has everybody singing my praises

At long long last

I'm taking my turn

And my oh my

Just watch how fast

I'm going to learn how to fly

Just watch lightning strike

And when they see what I can do

All Oz will love me like they should

In all likelihood

Once I'm making good

Unlimited

My future is unlimited

And I've just had a vision

Almost like a prophecy

I know you can call me crazy

And true the vision's hazy

But I swear some day there'll be

A celebration throughout Oz

That's all to do with me

At long long last

They're cheering my name

And what's more

Guess what old bastard's

Come here to claim credit for

This magic child of his

To say how proud he is of me

For doing things

The Wizard could not even contemplate

So you can go ahead and laugh

Till your sides are aching

But if I do half the wonders I feel waking

You'll be cheering after

I am finished making good

No not making good

Making great
