Defying Gravity

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!

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

So though I can't imanage how
I hope you're happy, right now!

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't have all you ever wanted!

I know
And 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 elses game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep!
It's time to trust my instincs
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!

Can't I make you understand?
You're having delusions of grandeur!

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've lost!
Well, if thats love, it comes at much to 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, things the way we plan 'em

If we work in tandem

There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I defying gravity!
With you and I, defying gravity

They'll never bring us down
Well, are you coming?

I hope you're happy, now that you're choosing this

You too
I hope it brings you bliss

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

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
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!

I hope you're happy!

Look at her, she's wicked!
Get her!

Bring me

No one mourns the wicked

Down!

So we've got to bring her

Aaahhhhhhh!

Down!
