ELPHABA
I’m limited:
Just look at me – I’m limited
And just look at you -
You can do all I couldn’t do, Glinda
So now it’s up to you
(spoken) For both of us
(sung) Now it’s up to you:

GLINDA
I’ve heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don’t know if I believe that’s true
But I know I’m who I am today
Because I knew you:

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

ELPHABA
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You’ll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend:
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
But because I knew you:

GLINDA
Because I knew you:

BOTHI have been changed for good

ELPHABA
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I’ve done you blame me for

GLINDA
But then, I guess we know
There’s blame to share

BOTH
And none of it seems to matter anymore

GLINDA ELPHABA
Like a comet pulled Like a ship blown
From orbit as it Off it’s mooring
Passes a sun, like By a wind off the
A stream that meets Sea, like a seed
A boulder, half-way Dropped by a
Through the wood Bird in the wood

BOTH
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better?

GLINDA
And because I knew you:
ELPHABA
Because I knew you:

BOTH
Because I knew you:
I have been changed for good.

 

In case you were wondering this is a song from SON of a WITCH, the musical based on the Wizard of OZ, Elphaba is the wicked witch, and Glinda is the Good Witch.

Hello,
My name is Rebecca Wood,  I have been a long time fan of Q 94, listening since I was in elementary school (I am 26 now).  I never thought I would be one of “those people”, the ones who call in (or write in this case) and complain about something they heard on the radio.  But this morning the show was grossly upsetting. 
I am referring to the “sorority prank”  the girl that “fried” her roommates goldfish… this was so horrible in itself.  I truly could not believe that you were talking about such a horrible act, a crime really, in such a casual manner, like it didn’t even matter.
And then for Darrin to mention that she should find out if her roommate has a dog & wanting to know when the beach barbeque would be.  I was truly disgusted.  Maybe you do not realize it, but you are role models for children of all ages- role models should NEVER promote cruelty to animals.
Shocked,
Rebecca Wood

Would you change who you are?  Who you hang out with, your image?  The classes that you took?
