I watched the screening eek and Ariana and the cast came out
Well I went to it
Here are the lyrics to “Defying Gravity” from the musical Wicked by Stephen Schwartz:
Elphaba:
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 can’t pull me down
Glinda:
Can’t I make you understand?
You’re having delusions of grandeur
Elphaba:
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!
Chorus:
I’d sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I’m defying gravity
And you can’t pull me down
Elphaba (to Glinda):
Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could do together!
Elphaba and Glinda:
Unlimited
Together we’re unlimited
Together we’ll be the greatest team
There’s ever been
Glinda, dreams the way we planned ’em
Elphaba:
If we work in tandem
Elphaba and Glinda:
There’s no fight we cannot win
Just you and I, defying gravity
With you and I, defying gravity
Elphaba:
They’ll never bring us down!
(Glinda decides not to go with Elphaba)
Elphaba:
Well, are you coming?
Glinda:
I hope you’re happy
Now that you’re choosing this
Elphaba:
You too—I hope it brings you bliss
Elphaba and Glinda:
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
Elphaba:
So if you care to find me
Look to the Western 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
Chorus:
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!
Glinda and Ensemble:
I hope you’re happy
Citizens of Oz:
Look at her, she’s wicked!
Get her!
Elphaba:
Bring me down!
Citizens of Oz:
No one mourns the wicked
So we got to bring her
Elphaba:
Ahhh!
Citizens of Oz:
Down!
Let me
O. M. G…..the goosebumps
