Defying Gravity
Idina Menzel(이디나 멘젤) Lyrics

Elphaba, why couldn't you have stayed calm, for once! Instead of flying off the handle!
Why couldn't you have just remained at peace and not create any chaos or disturbance?

I hope you're happy I hope you're happy now I hope you're happy how you've Hurt your cause forever I hope you think you're clever
I hope you are content with what you have done and that you feel pleased about it, even though it has caused irrevocable damage to your own cause. I hope you believe that your actions were smart and cunning.

I hope you're happy I hope you're happy too I hope you're proud how you would Grovel in submission To feed your own ambition
I hope you are gratified with yourself for groveling in subservience to others as a way of fulfilling your personal goals.

So though I can't imagine how I hope you're happy Right now
Even though I cannot conceive of the way you have become happy, I hope that you are feeling happiness at this very moment.

Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry!
Elphie, please, just apologize and make things right!

You can still be with the Wizard What you've worked and waited for You can have all you ever wanted
You can still have everything that you have always wanted if you stay with the Wizard, after all the work and waiting you have done.

I know But I don't want it No! I can't want it anymore
I understand, but I no longer desire it, nor am I capable of wanting it any longer.

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
I have transformed in some way; I am no longer the same person I once was. I'm done with following others' protocols; It's too late to have doubts, nor is it an option to disregard this. I have to trust what feels right and make a big move.

It's time to try defying gravity I think I'll try defying gravity And you can't pull me down
It's time to attempt flying higher than anyone thought possible; I am ready to test my limits, and nobody can bring me down or stop me from doing so.

Can't I make you understand You're having delusions of grandeur?
Is it not conceivable for me to help you realize that you have an inflated sense of grandeur?

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'm finished with acknowledging limitations that people have imprinted in my mind, and even though some things may be impossible, I'll perpetually wonder without trying. I've been afraid of relinquishing love, but apparently, it comes at a tremendous cost.

I'd sooner buy defying gravity Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity And you can't pull me down!
I'd prefer trying to fly higher than ever, regardless of the risk or danger. Say your goodbyes, because I'm flying away from where I used to stay, and there's nothing you can do to stop me.

Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could do together!
Glinda, come with me and see what we could accomplish if we worked together!

Unlimited Together we're unlimited Together we'll be the greatest team There's ever been, Glinda! Dreams the way we planned 'em If we work in tandem There's no fight we cannot win Just you and I, defying gravity With you and I defying gravity They'll never bring us down!
Together, we're capable of limitless potential, and there's nobody that can stop us. We're the best duo ever designed, and there isn't any conflict that we can't overcome. Just you and I, hovering the skies higher than anyone has ever gone, where nobody can limit our spirits.

Well, are you coming?
Are you joining me, or not?

I hope you're happy I hope your happy now that your choosing this You too I hope it brings you bliss I really hope you get it And you don't live to regret it I hope you're happy in the end I hope you're happy my friend
I hope you are happy with your decisions, that they bring you joy, and that you don't feel remorseful. I genuinely hope that you come to realization, and that you achieve ultimate happiness, my friend.

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!
If you're looking for me, gaze upon the western sky. Just like someone said to me, everyone deserves a chance to fly. And even though I'm soaring alone, I'm still flying without any limitations. To those who tried stopping me, please convey this message to all of them, I'm defying gravity.

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!
Inform them that I'm defying gravity, that I'm flying higher than anyone before me. There'll come a time when my fame will rival theirs, and no one, not even the most exceptional wizard, could ever stop me!

No one mourns the wicked So we got to bring her Ah! Down!
No one laments for the unreasonable and wicked, so we have to bring her to her knees, and no other option but to fall by the wayside.
