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
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
It’s me!
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 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
Bring me down
Ohhhhh
