Lirieke: Wicked: The Musical. Defying Gravity.

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,
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,
'Cos 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.
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 them.

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 west end 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!

No one mourns the wicked,
So we've got to bring her.
Ahhh!
Down!
