Defying Gravity (from Wicked)

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
