Idina Menzel - Defying Gravity lyrics

rate me

Glinda:

Elphie Why couldn't you have stayed calm for once?

instead of flying off the handle?

I hope you're happy, I hope you're happy now

I hope you're happy how you've hurt your cause forever

I hope you think you're clever

Elphaba:

I hope you're happy

I hope you're happy too

I hope you're proud how you would grovel in submission

to feed your own ambition

Both:

So though i can't imagine how

i hope you're happy right now

Glinda:

Elphie, listen to me Just say you're sorry

you can still be with the wizard

What you've worked and waited for

You can have all you ever wanted...

Elphaba:

I know-

But i don't want it

No, I can't want it anymore...

Something has changed within me

Something is not the same

I'm through with playing by the rules

of someone else's game

too late for second guessing

too late to go back to sleep

It's time to trust my instincts

close my eyes and leap

It's time to try defying gravity

I think i'll try defying gravity

and you can't pull me down

Glinda:

can't i make you understand

you're having delusions of Grandeur...

I'm through accepting limits

'cause someone says they're so

some things i cannot change

but till i try i'll never know

too long ive been afraid of

losing love i guess i've lost

well if that's love

it comes at much to high a cost

I'd sooner buy defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye i'm defying gravity

and you can't pull me down

come with me

think of what we could do

together...

unlimited

together we're unlimited

together we'll be greatest team there ever is

Glinda, dreams the way we planned 'em

Glinda:

if we work in tandem...

Both:

There's no fight we cannot win

just you and i defying gravity

with you and i defying gravity

Elphaba:

They'll never bring us down...

Well are you coming?

Glinda:

I hope you're happy

Now that you're choosing this

Elphaba:

You too.

I hope it brings you bliss

Both:

I really hope you get it

and you don't live to regret it

I hope you're happy in the end

I hope you're happy me friend

Elphaba:

So if you care to find me

look to the western sky

as someone told me lately

Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly

and if i'm flying solo

at least i'm flying free

to those who ground me

take a message back from me

tell them how i

am defying gravity

Im flying high defying gravity

and soon i'll match them in renown

and nobody in all of Oz

No wizard that there is or was

Is ever gonna bring me down

Glinda:

I hope your happy

Citizens of Oz:

Look at her she's wicked

Get her

Elphaba:

Bring me down

Citizens of Oz:

No one mourns the wicked

so we've got to bring her...

Elphaba:

Ahhhhh!

Citizens of Oz:

Down!
