Glinda:
Elphaba
why couldn't you have stayed calm for once,
Instead of flying off the handle!
how you hurt your cause forever
Elphaba:
how you Would grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition
Both:
So though I can't imagine how
Glinda:
Elphie, listen to me
just say you're sorry...
You can still be with the wizard
What you've worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted...
Elphaba:
I know... But I don't want it
NO , I can't want it anymore...
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...
Glinda:
Can't I make you understand
you're having delusions of grandeur... ?
Elphaba:
I'm through accepting limits
'Cuz 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 have 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...
Glinda, come with me.
Think of what we could do - together.
I'm limited
Together we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever been, Glinda,
Dreams the way we planned
Glinda:
If we work in tandem
Both:
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...
Well? Are you coming?
Glinda:
Now that you're choosing this...
Elphaba:
You too
Both:
And you don't live to regret it
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
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!
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've got to bring her...
Elphaba:Ahhhh!
Citizens of Oz:Down!
