Song by Kristin Chenoweth<br /><br>

GLINDA:(spoken)<br>

Elphaba, why could't you have stayed calm for once, instead of flying off the hadle!<br>

I hope you're happy!<br>

I hope you're happy now! <br>

(sung)I hope you're happy how you've hurt your cause forever,<br>

I hope you think you're clever!<br>

ELPHABA: (spoken)<br>

I hope you're happy!<br>

I hope you're happy, too.<br>

(sung)I hope you're proud how you would grovel in submission to feed your own ambition.<br>

BOTH:(sung)<br>

So though I can't imanage how, I hope you're happy, right now!<br>

GLINDA: (spoken)<br>

Elphie, listen to me! Just, say you're sorry. <br>

(sung)<br>

You can still be with the Wizard, what you've worked and waited for. You can't have all you ever wanted!<br>

ELPHABA: (spoken)<br>

I know.<br>

(sung)<br>

And I don't want it.<br>

(spoken)<br>

No,<br>

(sung)<br>

I can't want it anymore.<br>

Something has changed within me.<br>

Something is not the same.<br>

I'm through with playing by the rules of someone elses game.<br>

Too late for second-guessing.<br>

Too late to go back to sleep!<br>

It's time to trust my instints. <br>

Close my eyes, and leap!<br>

It's time to trust my instincs. <br>

Close my eyes, and leap!<br>

It's time to try defying gravity.<br>

I think I'll try defying gravity, and you can't pull me down!<br>

GLINDA: (sung)<br>

Can't I make you understand.<br>

You're having delusions of grandeur!<br>

ELPHABA: (sung)<br>

I'm through with accepting limits,<br>

'Cuz someone says they're so!<br>

Some things I cannot change,<br>

but 'till I try, I'll never know!<br>

Too long I've been afraid of <br>

loosing love, I guess I've lost!<br>

Well, if thats love, it comes at much to high a cost!<br>

I'd sooner buy defying gravity<br>

Kiss me goodby!<br>

I'm defying gravity, and you can't pull me down!<br>

(spoken)<br>

Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could do. Together,<br>

(sung)<br>

Unlimited. Together we're unlimited. Together we'll be the gratest team there's ever been. <br>

Glinda, things the way we plan 'em.<br>

GLINDA: (sung)<br>

If we work in tandam:<br>

BOTH: (sung)<br>

There's no fight we cannot win.<br>

Just you and I defying gravity!<br>

With you and I, defying gravity, <br>

ELPHABa:(sung)<br>

They'll never bring us down.<br>

(spoken)<br>

Well, are you coming?<br>

GLINDA:(sung)<br>

I hope you're happy, now that you're choosing this.<br>

ELPHABA: (spoken)<br>

You too.<br>

(sung)<br>

I hope it brings you bliss, <br>

BOTH: (sung)<br>

I really hope you get it, <br>

And you don't live to regreat it!<br>

I hope you're happy in the end!<br>

I hope you're happy, my friend!<br>

ELPHABA: (sung)<br>

So if you care to find me<br>

Look to the western sky!<br>

As someone told me lately:<br>

"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"<br>

And if I'm flying solo,<br>

At least I'm flying free.<br>

To those who'd ground me,<br>

Take a message back from me:<br>

Tell them how I am<br>

Defying gravity!<br>

I'm flying high,<br>

Defying gravity!<br>

And soon I'll match them in renown.<br>

And nobody in, all of Oz.<br>

No Wizard that there is or was.<br>

Is ever gonna bring me down!<br>

GLINDA: (sung)<br>

I hope you're happy!<br>

CITIZENS OF OZ: (sung)<br>

Look at her, she's wicked!<br>

(shouted)<br>

Get her!<br>

ELPHABA: (sung)<br>

Bring me down!<br>

CITIZENS OF OZ: (sung)<br>

So we've got to bring her<br>

ELPHABA: (sung)<br>

Aaahhhhhhh!<br>

CITIZENS OF OZ:(sung)<br>

Down!<br>
