Defying Gravity (Live from the Dolby Theatre)

(Ooh-ooh)

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 'til 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 by 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'm 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!

No one mourns the wicked (bring me down)

So we've got to bring her

Oh (down)
