Kristin Chenoweth, Idina Menzel - Defying Gravity Lyrics

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 imagine 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 have all you ever wanted

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

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 'til 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

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 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 (no one mourns the wicked, so we've got to bring her)
Oh (down)
