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
