Defying Gravity Lyrics - Singles - Wicked

GLINDA 

(spoken) Elphaba - why couldn't you have just stayed calm for once, instead of flying off the handle! 

(sung) 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 

(spoken) Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry: 

(sung) You can still be with the Wizard 

What you've worked and waited for 

You can have all you ever wanted: 

ELPHABA 

(spoken) I know: 

(sung) 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:

Because of the popularity of Disney's Frozen (specifically "Let It Go"), fans began to look up Elsa's voice actor Idina Menzel for her previous work. Aside… See all 

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: 

(spoken) Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could 

do, together. 

(sung) 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! 

(spoken) Well? Are you coming? 

GLINDA 

I hope you're happy 

Now that you're choosing this 

ELPHABA 

(Spoken) You too 

(Sung) I hope it brings you bliss 

GLINDA 

I really hope you get it 

And you don't live to regret it 

BOTH 

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: 

"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! 

GLINDA 

I hope you're happy! 

CITIZENS OF OZ 

Look at her, she's wicked! 

Get her! 

ELPHABA 

Bring me down! 

CITIZENS OF OZ 

No one mourns the wicked 

So we've got to bring her 

ELPHABA 

Ahhh! 

CITIZENS OF OZ 

Down!
