Defying Gravity

Idina Menzel And Kristin Chenoweth

Glinda:

elphaba- why couldn't you stay 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 yourr 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:

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...



elphaba:

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 cant pull me down...



glinda:

can't i make you understand, your're having delusions of grandeur ...?



elphaba:

i'm through accepting limits

'cuz 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 can 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



glinda:

if we work in tandem...



both:
