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'll never bring 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 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 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:
(sung) Unlimited Together we're unlimited Together we'll be the greatest team There's ever been Dreams, the way we planned 'em 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 They'll never bring us down
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'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! Bring me down! Bring me down! Bring me down!
