Defying Gravity Lyrics - Kristin Chenoweth

Glinda) 

(spoken dialogue over intro) 

Elphaba, why couldn't you stay calm for once? 

Instead of flying off the handle? 

I hope you're happy! 

(Sung) 

I hope you're happy, now! 

I hope your happy how you 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 gravel 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... 

(sung) 

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 dont 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 

To late to go back to sleep 

Is 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? 

Yo're having delusions of grandeur... 

(Elphaba) 

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 i've been afraid of 

Losing love, i guess i lost 

Well if thats love, 

It comes at much too high a cost! 

I'd sooner try defying gravity 

Kiss me goodbye i'm defying gravity 

And you can pull me down! 

(spoken) 

Glinda, come with me... 

Think of what we could do... together. 

(sung) 

Unlimited! 

Together we're unlimited 

Together well be the greatest team 

There's ever been, 

Glinda, dreams the way we planned 'em 

(Glinda) 

if we work intandum... 

(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! 

(Elphaba) 

(spoken) 

Well, are you coming? 

(Glinda) 

I hope your happy, now that your choosing this. 

(Elphaba) 

(Spoken) 

You too... 

(Sung) 

I hope it brings you bliss 

(both) 

I really hope you get it 

And you dont live to regret it 

I hope you're happy in the end... 

I hope you're happy, my friend... 

(Elphaba) 

So if you care to find me, 

Look to the western sky! 

As someone told me lately 

"Everyone deserves a chance to fly!" 

And if I'm flying solo 

At least I'm flying free. 

To those who'd ground me, 

Take a message back from me: 

Tell them how I am 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 there is or was, 

Is ever gonna bring me down! 

(Glinda) 

I hope you're happy... 

Town folk: 

(Go get her, shes wicked, get her!) 

(Elphaba) 

Bring me down! 

Town folk: 

(No one mourns the wicked) 

(So we've got to bring her... down!) 

(Elphaba)
