To me, this song perfectly encapsulates the feelings of homesickness. As someone who lived abroad for many years, it feels really resonant. "I am so amazed by the things that I see here. Don't wanna be afraid, I just don't wanna be here!"
There's a feeling here inside That I cannot hide And I know I've tried But it's turning me around I'm not sure that I'm aware If I'm up or down Or here or there I need both feet on the ground Why do I feel like I'm drowning? When there is plenty of air. Why do I feel like frowning? I think the feeling is fear. Here I am in a different place in a different time in this time and space but I don't want to be here. I was told I would see the wiz but I don't know what a wiz is I just hope the wiz is there Maybe I'm just going crazy Letting myself get uptight I'm acting just like a baby But I'm gonna be I'm gonna be alright Soon as I get home Soon as I get home Soon as I get home In a different place In a different time Different people around me I would like to know of their different world And how different they find me And just what's a Wiz Is he big, will he scare me? If I ask to leave Will the Wiz even hear me? How will I know then If I'll ever get home again? Here I am alone Though it feels the same I don't know where I'm going I'm here on my own And it's not a game And a strange wind is blowing I'm so amazed At the things that I see here I just don't want to be afraid, oh I just don't want to be here In my mind this is clear What am I doing here? I wish I was home I wish I wish I wish
This song was a poignant way for Shanice to start showing off her vocal beauty! You really feel Dorothy wants to go home to where she was born only to discover she truly belongs in Kansas.
I remember doing a version of this production in middle school and i got the cowardly lion how i wish i could go back to those days tbh opening night felt magical in a way
No offense, but the movie version sucks. The whole first part is whispered awkwardly. I love the movie version but they really botched this song, which has become on of my favorites, particularly this version.

I believe this is the best version of the song between the original Broadway cast, the 1978 movie, and The Wiz Live. The movie adaptation of this song is a mess, but Shanice here just captures the whole heart and emotion of this song.
I LOVE being able to listen to The Wiz Live! with the four year old I babysit, but is there anyway to get youtube to not use ads that promote scary movies? Every time the ad comes on I have to rush to mute the sound so she doesn't see it! Just a thought: these family friendly videos should NOT advertise scary movies! Thanks :). (I know it's not the person who posted this video's fault, hoping someone from youtube will see this.)
MY HUSBAND MENTIONED SOME ADS BEING PLAYED BETWEEN THE SONGS I AM IN AGREEMENT WITH YOU I DONT WANNA SEE THEM EITHER WELL AT LEAST HER PARENTS ARE IN GOOD HANDS WITH YOU BLESSINGS SWEETIE!

I completely agree. I just recently moved, and this soundtrack always comforts me.
I wish you luck! It's always hard to move, but it brings with it many rewards.

AWW THANKS I WANTED THE WORDS TO TEACH TO AN LITTLE GIRL HOW TO SING IT IN LAKE CHARLES, LA AS AN MENTOR BLESSINGS TO YOU AND ETC!
WOW THE WHOLE SONG!
Lovley.
Shanice, you showed out! I know Stephanie is proud to be part of this entire production!
I can listen to that chord change all day long at time Mark 1:48, and actually I did when I first DVR'd the special LOL.
That was Shanice Williams on this one. Nice!
I love the 3/4 time part of this...
the home part. so do i, in all the versions
I love Shanice Williams.
Me too.
This song was a poignant way for Shanice to start showing off her vocal beauty! You really feel Dorothy wants to go home to where she was born only to discover she truly belongs in Kansas.
***** Thanks
+Manuel Orozco I've seen you in so many comments and replies of these the wiz music videos XD
Starlaxy Sorry if I'm annoying you. That wasn't my intention
very talented young lady
Anyone else remember the part at the end of the song when Dorothy starting walking and the road started to light up?
I remember doing a version of this production in middle school and i got the cowardly lion how i wish i could go back to those days tbh opening night felt magical in a way
When I heard the song on the movie and I fell in love with it.😘😜😍😍😍
That's how I first saw the Wiz too when Diana Ross sang it.
No offense, but the movie version sucks. The whole first part is whispered awkwardly. I love the movie version but they really botched this song, which has become on of my favorites, particularly this version.
ME TO AND MY HUBBIE SINGS STEPHANIE MILLS ORIGINAL WIZ VERSION MAKES ME CRY WITH JOY WHEN HE DOES BLESSINGS !
there's a feeling here inside
that i cannot hide and i know i've tried but its turning me around
i'm not sure if i'm aware if i'm up or down if i'm here or there i need both feet on the ground
why do i feel like i'm drowning
when there is plenty of air
why do i feel like frowning
i think the feeling is fear
oh here i am in a different place
in this different time in this time and space
but i don't want to be here
i was told i must see the wiz but i don't know what
a wizard is i just hope the wiz is there
maybe i'm just going crazy, letting myself get up tight
i'm acting just like a baby
but i'm goin be alright
soon as i get home
soon as i get home
in a different place in a different time
different people around me
i would like to know of there different world
and how different they find me
and just what's a wiz

will it scare me
if i ask to leave
will the wiz even here me
how will i know then
if i'll ever get home again
I wish i was home

YEESSSSSSSSSS ITS FINALLY HERE
I like this version and diana ross's
+13 likes Me too equally beautiful versions and also moving
But dont forget the version of Stephanie Mills 😊
Thomas Bernhard Hengeveld That too
Stephanie Mills was absolutely the best Dorthy with such a strong voice.
Stephanie actually worked with Shanice so Diana is ruled out and irrelevant.

IKR! It's totally crazy. I'm just here to look back on what a magical night December 3rd was last year.

I like this version better than the movie. At least in this one Dorothy is still a little girl and not some 40 year old woman trying to be 18.
She was way better than Diana Ross hands down.
the original is better in my opinion the instrumentals were better as well but this is pretty good ‼️
Don’t ever disrespect the queen😭😭
