From the musical Wicked 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 (x2) 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! Elphaba: I'm through accepting limits 'Cuz 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've lost Well, if that's love (x2) It comes at much too high a cost! I'd sooner buy Defying gravity Kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity And you can't pull me down Unlimited My future is unlimited And I've just had a vision almost like a prophecy, I know Eb/G It sounds truly crazy, Eb/G And true, the vision's hazy But some day I swear I'll be Up in the- Sky, Defying gravity Flying so high I'm defying gravity They'll never pull me down 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'd ground me (x2) Take 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 there is or was Is ever gonna bring me down!
