"Defying Gravity" lyrics
Jonathan Young, Em Young & Brandon McInnis Lyrics
(originally by Idina Menzel)
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
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 that's love
It comes at much too high a cost
I'd sooner by 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
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
"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
I hope you're happy
(Look at her! She's wicked!
Get her!)
Bring me down
(So we've got to bring her)
Oh
(Down)
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
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 that's love
It comes at much too high a cost
I'd sooner by 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
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 really hope you get it
