Defying Gravity

Ever since I saw a performance of Defying Gravity on the one and only Tony Awards I've watched on TV, I completely fell in love with it. And I would love to catch Wicked on Broadway someday. The Glee version below is more succinct in content, but it's here only because the Wicked version has way too much 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 am defying gravity
And you wont 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 wont bring me down!

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!
bring me down!
ohh ohhh ohhhh!

This is one of the main reasons I like Glee. Because I love musicals and good covers. Musicals are always so much more meaningful and emotional than normal songs.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Or did you read my mind? Haha.
