Defying Gravity (Live from the Dolby Theatre)

[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

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

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'd ground me
Take a message back from me

Tell them how I'm defying gravity
I'm flying high, defying gravity
And soon, I'll match them in renown

[ELPHABA]
And, nobody in all of Oz
No wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down

[CITIZENS OF OZ]
Look at her! She's wicked!
Kill her!

[CITIZENS OF OZ & ELPHABA]
No one mourns the wicked (Bring me down)
So we've got to bring her

[ELPHABA]
Oh

[CITIZENS OF OZ]
Down
