Defying Gravity

ASHANTI-
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
‘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’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

(spoken) Come, join me.
Think of what we could do, together.

OTHER-
Unlimited

BOTH-
Together we’re unlimited
Together we’ll be the greatest team
There’s ever been
Dreams, the way we planned ‘em

OTHER-
If we work in tandem

BOTH-
There’s no fight we cannot win

OTHER-
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravity

BOTH-
They’ll never bring us down!

OTHER-
So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:
“Ev’ryone 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

ASHANTI-
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!

OTHER-
Me down

ASHANTI-
Ahhh!
