Defying Gravity (Tracy Young Flying Monkey Radio Edit) Lyrics

Glinda

Elphaba, 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?

Elphaba

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 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!

Glinda, 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 'emGlinda

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, my friend

Elphaba

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 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

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

Ahhhh!

Citizens of Oz

...down!
