GLINDA: Elphaba, why couldn't you have stayed calm for once, instead of flying off the handle!
I hope you're happy!
I hope you're happy now!
I hope you're happy now you've hurt your cause forever,
I hope you think you're clever!
ELPHABA:
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!
BOTH:
So though I can't imagine how,
I hope you're happy, right now!
GLINDA:
Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry!
You can still be with the wizzard,
What you've worked and waited for.
You can't have all you ever wanted!
EPHABA:
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!
Somethings 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 to hight 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.
Unlimited. Together we're unlimited.
Together we'll be the greatest team there's ever been.
Glinda, things the way we planned 'em.
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:
I hope you're happy, now that you're choosing this.
ELPHABA:
You too.
I hope it brings you bliss
BOTH:
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!
ELPHABA:
So if you'd 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 try to 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!
It currently rings a little hollow, but I'm working on making it my mantra. Really trying not to let stuff I can't control or change bother me. I've chosen my course, and now it's time to defy gravity. It's just not that easy.
