Something has changed within me 
Something is not the same 
I'm through with playing by [bad word] 
Of someone else's game 
Too late for second-guessing 
Too late to go back to sleep 
It's time to [bad word] 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 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  [bad word] 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! 

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!
