Original Broadway Cast of Wicked
Defying Gravity
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you won't bring me down
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
And you won't bring me down
