Glinda:
andquot;elphaba - why couldnand't you have stayed calm for once,
instead of flying off the handle!
I hope youand're happy
i hope youand're happy now
i hope youand're happy how you
hurt your cause forever
i hope you think youand're cleverandquot;
Elphaba:
andquot;i hope youand're happy
i hope youand're happy too
i hope youand're proud how you
would grovel in submission
to feed your own ambitionandquot;
Both:
andquot;so though i canand't imagine how
i hope youand're happy right now...andquot;
Glinda:
andquot;elphie, listen to me - just say youand're sorry...
You can still be with the wizard
what youand've worked and waited for
you can have all you ever wanted...andquot;
Elphaba:
andquot;i know...but i donand't want it - no - i canand't want it
anymore...
Something has changed within me
something is not the same
iand'm through with playing by the rules
of someone elseand's game
too late for second-guessing
too late to go back to sleep
itand's time to trust my instincts
close my eyes and leap
Itand's time to try
defying gravity
i think iand'll try
defying gravity
and you canand't pull me down...andquot;
Glinda:
andquot;canand't i make you understand, youand're having delusions of grandeur...?andquot;
Elphaba:
andquot;iand'm through accepting limits
and'cuz someone says theyand're so
some things i cannot change
but and'till i try, iand'll never know
too long iand've been afraid of
losing love - i guess iand've lost
well, if thatand's love
it comes at much too high a cost
Iand'd sooner buy
defying gravity
kiss me goodbye
iand'm defying gravity
and you canand't pull me down...
Glinda, come with me. think of what we could do - together.
Unlimited
together weand're unlimited
together weand'll be the greatest team
thereand's ever been, glinda,
dreams the way we planned and'emandquot;
Glinda:
andquot;if we work in tandemandquot;
Both:
andquot;thereand's no fight we cannot win
just you and i
defying gravity
with you and i
defying gravityandquot;
Elphaba:
andquot;theyand'll never bring us down...
well? are you coming?andquot;
Glinda:
andquot;i hope youand're happy
now that youand're choosing this...andquot;
Elphaba:
andquot;you too - i hope it brings you blissandquot;
Both:
andquot;i really hope you get it
and you donand't live to regret it
i hope youand're happy in the end
i hope youand're happy, my friend...andquot;
Elphaba:
andquot;so if you care to find me
look to the western sky
as someone told me lately -
andquot;evand'ryone deserves the chance to flyandquot;
and if iand'm flying solo
at least iand'm flying free
to those whoand'd ground me
take a message back from me -
Tell them how i
am defying gravity!
iand'm flying high
defying gravity!
and soon iand'll match them in renown
and nobody in all of oz
no wizard that there is or was
is ever gonna bring me down!andquot;
Glinda:
andquot;i hope youand're happy!andquot;
Citizens of oz:
andquot;look at her, shes wicked!
get her!andquot;
Elphaba:
andquot;...bring me down!andquot;
Citizens of oz:
andquot;no one mourns the wicked
so weand've got to bring her...andquot;
Elphaba:
andquot;ahhhh!andquot;
Citizens of oz:
andquot;down!andquot;
