"Can't we just pursue our lives. With our children and our wives. Till that happy day arrives, How do you ignore?".
What exactly is the Baker talking about when he sings "Till that happy day arrives"? What is the happy day that he is alluding to?

When they can pursue their lives with their children and their wives it will be a happy day.
Also, there is no period after "ingnore". That's not the end of his thought, but the beginning of a list:
All the witches, all the curses,
All the wolves, all the lies, the false hopes, the good-bye's,
The reverses,
All the wondering what even worse is still in store!
All the children.

Posted: 12/26/14 at 8:22pmI've always thought there was a deeper meaning behind that line. Maybe not.

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Posted: 12/26/14 at 8:28pmI also thought he was talking about "that happy day' was going to heaven.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Posted: 12/26/14 at 8:30pmThat's what I have always thought also, JRybka. I always thought that happier day was death.

Posted: 12/26/14 at 8:38pmYes thanks, Rosscoe. Clearly some weren't aware of the real meaning *cough* Tazber *cough*.

Posted: 12/26/14 at 8:52pmIncidentally, the Broadway revival rather pointlessly changed "happy" to "happier" so that the lyric went "'til that happier day arrives..."

Taz, you come off as very young and immature poster. Maybe you should evaluate the way in which you communicate with others on here.

TazTarney,
Tazber gave an explanation...a very well put explanation at that, so why did you take the other responses as fact? This music is up to deep interpretation, so there are many thoughts.

I don't believe I have ever thrown the first stone, ljay. I did not know Tazber was being genuine, I clearly attacked without reason and for that I apologize. But it's not like I wasn't being egged on in other threads.
I think you may be confusing "immature" with someone with a healthy appetite for questions. I can't think of a thread I have posted that wasn't genuine. Yes maybe I am a bit outspoken sometimes. Contrary to popular belief, I wasn't trolling with the All black production thread. I don't know how you old you are so I can't really comment on the young remark.

Posted: 12/26/14 at 10:04pmwhen there will be NO MORE GIANTS WAGING WAR...that is the happy/happier time that the song is mentioning...i NEVER thought they were talking about their deaths...that is very morbid...and not magical or musical either...this is not a greek tragedy...

"...i NEVER thought they were talking about their deaths...that is very morbid...and not magical or musical either..."
Real Life isn't always magical 
. I find it fascinating that the allusion to death has never crossed the minds of some and yet has always been in the minds of others. From the first time I heard this song years ago my mind immediately went to death.

I don't know how anyone gets death out of that. "Can't we just pursue our lives, with our children and our wives, till that happy day arrives..."
It's clearly talking about the day when people can just pursue their lives with children and wives. I don't think there's anything more to it than that. The list that follows shows how much there is to overcome, and it would be so "happy" to not have to deal with all of that, but that's not what life is. It ties back to the whole theme of wishing for something and finding getting that isn't going to make you happy. "All the wolves, all the lies, the false hopes, the goodbyes, the revereses." -- life doesn't exist without that, but we keep hoping for the day when we can live happy and secure.
I don't see death anywhere in that at all...
