Part of this World

I'm Yours

Soon enough, Lori, Dorothy, and their friends made it back to the Wizard.

"Why have you returned?" the Wizard asked.

"Please, sir, we've done what you told us," Scuttle said. "We brought you the seashell necklace of the Wicked Witch of the West."

But when nobody was looking, Dorothy ran over to a curtain and opened it, revealing a man who looked like the Wizard.

"I see you have," the Wizard said. Then he saw that the curtain was open and closed it. "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain."

But Lori went over and opened the curtain again.

"Who are you?" Sebastian asked.

"Me? I am the Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz," the man replied nervously. He could tell that the group was angry, and he wanted to make it up to them, so he made a sapphire blue acoustic guitar appear and began to play and sing.

Well, open up your mind and see like me

Open up your plans and dream you're free

Look into your heart, and you'll find love, love, love, love

Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing

We're just one big family

It's our unforsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait

I'm sure

There's no need to complicate

Our time is short

This is our fate

I'm yours

The gang was impressed with this. Lori couldn't sing without her voice, but she took out her violin and played along while her friends sang.

SEBASTIAN: So I guess what you've been saying is there ain't no better reason

STARR: To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons

SCUTTLE: It's what we aim to do

ALL: Our friends are our virtue

And I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait

I'm yours

SCUTTLE: So all we're saying is just kick the vanity

Life is made for loving with your friends and family

ALL: So I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait

I'm sure

There's no need to complicate

Our time is short

This is our fate

I'm yours

WIZARD: Open up your mind and see like me

Open up your plans and dream you're free

Look into your heart, and you'll find that the sky is yours

Everyone was amazed by this—it was so magical.

"You are the Wizard of Oz!" Starr gasped.

"No, I'm just a man, but I am a man who can help," the Wizard declared. He turned to Scuttle and said, "Scuttle, you have plenty of brains. Didn't you figure out that playing music would get that witch to weaken?"

"I guess I did have some smarts after all," Scuttle smiled.

The Wizard turned to Sebastian and said, "And if you didn't have a heart, then you wouldn't care enough about Lori to go after that Witch for her."

"I suppose you're right, mon," Sebastian smiled.

The Wizard turned to Starr and asked, "And how can you be a coward if you stirred up the courage to go after that Witch for Lori?"

"Well, so much for that shy girl—I'm all about courage now," Starr smiled.

The Wizard turned to Lori and said, "Lorelei, you're so quiet—cat got your tongue?"

Dorothy meowed, thinking that joke was funny.

"No, the Wicked Witch stole her voice and put it in her necklace," Scuttle said.

"We would've broken the necklace to give her, her voice back, but we needed it for you," Starr declared.

Dorothy gave the Wizard the seashell necklace.

"Well, time for someone's needs to come first," the Wizard smiled.

The Wizard threw the seashell necklace down and broke it. That's when Lori's voice vocalized the beginning of "Part of Your World", and when the voice got into Lori's throat, she vocalized beautifully.

"Thanks a bunch," Lori smiled as Dorothy jumped into her arms.

"You're welcome, and the only way to get you and Dorothy back to Kansas is for me to take you there myself," the Wizard smiled. "You can join me in my galleon."

"Oh, thank you so much," Lori smiled.
