Lyrics: No Place Like Home

[Elphaba:]

Why do I love this place

That's never loved me?

A place that seems to be devolving

And even wanting to?

But Oz is more than just a place

It's a promise, an idea

And I want to help make it come true


Why should a land have so much meaning

When dark times befall it?

It's only land, made of dirt and rock and loam

It's just a place that's familiar

And "home"'s just what we call it

But there's no place like home

Don't we all know

There's no place like home?


When you feel you can't fight anymore

Just tell yourself

There's no place like home

When you feel it's not worth fighting for

Compel yourself

Because there's no place like home


When you want to leave

Discouraged and resigned

That's what they want you to do

But think how you will grieve

For all you leave behind

Oz belongs to you too


Those who would take it from you

Spout a lie to sell yourself

You go their way or go

It's them we'll be defeating

If we keep on repeating

"There's no place like home"

There's no place like home

There's no place like home


If we just keep fighting for it

We will win back and restore it

There's no place like home
