IDINA MENZEL - Defying Gravity lyrics
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!
