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

Kiss me goodbye

I'm defying gravity

And you won't bring me down

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!

I'd sooner buy

Defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye

I'm defying gravity

I think I'll try

Defying gravity

And you won't bring me down

Unlimited (Unlimited)

My future is unlimited (unlimited)

And I've just had a vision

Almost like a prophecy

I know it sounds truly crazy

And true, the vision's hazy

But I swear, someday I'll be...

Flying so high! (Defying gravity)

Kiss me goodbye! (Defying gravity)

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

It's time to fly

Defying gravity

I'm way up high

Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you won't bring me
You won't bring me
Down!
(Alternate final lyrics from the stage production:
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!)
-- Wicked, "Defying Gravity"
(The performer in the video clip above, Kerry Ellis, was the understudy and successor to the original Elphaba, Idina Menzel, in the original London cast of Wicked.)

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.
