Lyrics Defying Gravity by Stephen Schwartz

[GLINDA]:
I hope your happy
I hope your happy now
I hope your happy how you hurt your cause forever
I hope you think your clever

[ELPHABA]:
I hope your happy
I hope your happy to
I hope your proud how you would grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition

[BOTH]:
So though I can’t imagine how
I hope your happy right now

[GLINDA]:
Elphie, Listen to me
Just say your sorry before it’s too late
You can still be with the wizard
What you 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
To late for second guessing
To 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
Your having delusions of grandeur

[ELPHABA]:
I’m through accepting limits cause someone says there so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try I’ll never know
To long I been afraid of
Losing love I guess I’ve lost
Well if that’s love
It come at much to higher cost!
I’d sooner by defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye..
I’m defying gravity!
And you can’t pull me down

[SPOKEN]: Quick get on!

[GLINDA]:
[SPOKEN]: What!

[ELPHABA]:
Come with me
Think of what we could do together
Unlimited
Together we’re unlimited
Together we’ll be the greatest team there’s ever been
Glinda
Dreams the way we planned them

[GLINDA]:
If we work in tandem

[BOTH]:
Just you and I defying gravity
With you and I defying gravity

[ELPHABA]:
They’ll never bring us down..

[SPOKEN]: Well are you coming?

[GLINDA]:
[SPOKEN]: Elphie, your trembling here put this around you..

[SUNG]: I hope your happy
Now that your choosing this

[ELPHABA]:
You to
I hope it brings you bliss

[BOTH]:
I really hope you get it
And you don’t live to regret it
I hope your happy in the end [HARMONY]
I hope your happy my friend

Guards break in..
[GUARDS]:
There she is don’t let her get away!

[GLINDA]:
No let go of me do you hear let me go!

[ELPHABA]:
It’s not her!
I’m the one you want it’s me!
It’s me!

[GLINDA]:
ELPHIE!

So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately
Everyone deserves the chance to fly!
And if I’m flying solo
At least I’m flying free
To those who’d ground me!
To a message back!
From me
Tell them how I’m defying gravity
I’m flying high defying gravity!
And soon I’ll match them in renown..
And nobody in all of oz
No wizard that is or was
Is ever gonna bring..
Me down!

[GLINDA]:
I hope your happy!

[ELPHABA]:
Bring me down!
Ahhhahhhhh!
