[GLINDA]
|
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 how 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
|
|
[GLINDA & ELPHABA]
|
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 Wizard
|
What you've worked and waited for
|
You can have all you ever wanted -
|
|
[ELPHABA]
|
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
|
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!
|
|
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!
|
Dreams the way we planned 'em
|
|
[GLINDA]
|
If we work in tandem
|
|
[GLINDA & ELPHABA]
|
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 decides to stay behind.]
|
|
[GLINDA]
|
I hope you're happy
|
I hope your happy now that your choosing this -
|
|
[ELPHABA]
|
You too--
|
I hope it brings you bliss
|
|
[GLINDA & ELPHABA]
|
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 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!
|
|
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 got to bring her -
|
|
[ELPHABA]
|
Ahhhh!
|
|
[CITIZENS OF OZ]
|
--Down!
