GLINDA
(spoken) Elphaba - why couldn´t you have stayed calm for
once, instead of flying off the handle!
(sung) I hope you´re happy!
I hope you´re happy now
I hope you´re happy how you
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
(spoken) Elphie, listen to me. Just say you´re sorry:
(sung) You can still be with the Wizard
What you´ve worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted:

ELPHABA
(spoken) I know:
(sung) 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
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) Glinda - come with me. Think of what we could
do: together.

(sung) Unlimited
Together we´re unlimited
Together we´ll be the greatest team
There´s ever been
Glinda -
Dreams, 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!
(spoken) Well? Are you coming?

GLINDA
I hope you´re happy
Now that you´re choosing this

ELPHABA
(spoken) You too
(sung) 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:

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

GLINDA
I hope you´re happy!

CITIZENS OF OZ
Look at her, she´s wicked!
Get her!

ELPHABA
:Bring me down!

CITIZENS OF OZ
No one mourns the wicked
So we´ve got to bring her

ELPHABA
Ahhh!

CITIZENS OF OZ
Down!
