Defying Gravity |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| '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 have 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 'em |
| Glinda: |
| 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 — |
| 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! |
| Glinda: |
| I hope you’re happy! |
| Citizens of Oz: |
| Look at her, shes 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! |
