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! |
