Stephen Schwartz
Defying Gravity
[ELPHABA]
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 won't bring me down

I'm through accepting limits
'Cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But 'til I try, I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I’ve lost
Well, if that’s love
It comеs at much too high a cost

I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbyе, I’m defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you won't bring me down
Unlimited
My future is unlimited
And I've just had a vision
Almost like a prophecy
I know it sounds truly crazy
And true, the vision’s hazy
But I swear someday I'll be
Flying so high (I'm defying gravity)
Kiss me goodbye (Defying gravity)

So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately
"Everyone deserves the chance to fly"

Tell them how
Kiss me goodbye (Defying gravity)
Kiss me goodbye
You won't bring me down, oh no
You won't bring me down, hmm
