Defying Gravity (from Wicked) Lyrics

Glinda: (spoken) Elphie why couldnt you have just stayed calm for once instead of flying off the handle? I hope you're happy!
(sung) 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: (spoken) I hope you're happy
(sung) I hope you're happy too
I hope you're proud how you would grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition
(both)Somehow I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy right now
Glinda: (spoken) elphie listen to me, just say your sorry
(sung) You can still be with the Wizard
What you've worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted

elphie: (spoken) I know, (sung) but I don't want it, (spoken) no,
(sung) 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 grandure
Elphie: 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
Elphie: (spoken) Glinda come with me, think of all we can 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 them
Glinda:If we work in tandum
BOTH: There's no fight we cannot win
BOTH: Just you and I defying gravity
With you and I defying gravity
They'll never bring us down
Elphie: (spoken) well are you coming?
Glinda: (sung) I hope you're happy
Now that you're choosing this
Elphie: (spoken) you too (sung) 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
Elphie: So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately
Everyone deserves a chance to fly
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who try ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I'm defying gravity
I'm flying high defying gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
(spoken)And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down
Glinda: (sung) i hope your happy!
People of oz: Look at her, shes wicked! get her!
Elphie: bring me down
ahhhhh
