Defying Gravity (Live from the Dolby Theatre)
by Cynthia Erivo
Lyrics : Stephen Schwartz Music : Stephen Schwartz 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 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 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 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 (Look at her, she's wicked, kill her) Bring me down (No one mourns the wicked, so we've got to bring her) Ah (Down)
