Lyrics
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 Kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity And you won't bring 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 I think I'll try Defying gravity And you won't bring me down

Unlimited (unlimited) My future is (future is) unlimited (unlimited) And I've just had a vision Almost like a prophecy I know it sounds truly crazy And true, the vision's hazy But I swear, someday I'll be...

Flying so high! (defying gravity) Kiss me goodbye! (defying gravity)

So if you care to find me Look to the western sky! As someone told me lately, "Everyone deserves the chance to fly!"

I'm defying gravity! I think I'll try Defying gravity Kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity And you won't bring me down, bring me down, bring me down!
