[01:36.70] Elphaba, why couldn't you have stayed calm for once
[00:03.97] Instead of flying off the handle
[00:06.07] I hope you're happy
[00:07.33] I hope you're happy now
[00:09.03] I hope you're happy how you
[00:10.49] Hurt your 'cause forever
[00:11.99] I hope you think you're clever
[00:14.00] I hope you're happy
[00:15.51] I hope you're happy, too
[00:17.13] I hope you're proud how you
[00:19.48] Would grovel in submission
[00:21.04] To feed your own ambition
[00:23.35] So though I can't imagine how
[00:28.11] I hope you're happy right now
[00:35.85] Elphie, listen to me, just say you're sorry
[00:42.56] You can still be with the Wizard
[00:47.39] What you've worked and waited for
[00:51.64] You can have all you ever wanted
[00:57.47] I know
[00:59.01] But I don't want it
[01:02.09] No
[01:03.20] I can't want it
[01:07.64] Anymore
[01:17.86] Something has changed within me
[01:22.12] Something is not the same
[01:26.03] I'm through with playing by the rules
[01:29.85] Of someone else's game
[01:33.96] Too late for second guessing
[01:37.51] Too late to go back to sleep
[01:41.79] It's time to trust my instincts
[01:45.25] Close my eyes and leap
[01:51.23] It's time to try
[01:53.43] Defying gravity
[01:57.15] I think I'll try
[01:59.46] Defying gravity
[02:02.72] And you can't pull me down
[02:06.18] Can't I make you understand?
[02:08.02] You're having delusions of grandeur
[02:10.99] I'm through accepting limits
[02:13.80] 'Cause someone says they're so
[02:16.92] Some things I cannot change
[02:19.18] But till I try, I'll never know
[02:22.84] Too long I've been afraid of
[02:25.45] Losing love I guess I've lost
[02:28.86] Well, if that's love
[02:30.95] It comes at much too high a cost
[02:35.46] I'd sooner buy defying gravity
[02:41.27] Kiss me goodbye
[02:43.77] I'm defying gravity
[02:47.02] And you can't pull me down
[02:53.29] Glinda, come with me
[02:56.26] Think of what we could do together
[03:00.07] Unlimited, together we're unlimited
[03:08.21] Together we'll be the greatest team
[03:11.22] There's ever been, Glinda
[03:14.93] Dreams, the way we planned '
[03:19.00] If we work in tandem
[03:22.22] There's no fight we cannot win
[03:27.23] Just you and I
[03:30.16] Defying gravity
[03:33.91] With you and I
[03:36.18] Defying gravity
[03:39.54] They'll never bring us down
[03:45.11] Well? Are you coming?
[03:53.39] I hope you're happy
[03:57.00] Now that you're choosing this
[03:59.86] You too
[04:01.17] I hope it brings you bliss
[04:04.38] I really hope you get it
[04:06.35] And you don't live to regret it
[04:09.75] I hope you're happy in the end
[04:16.78] I hope you're happy, my friend
[04:31.89] So if you care to find me
[04:35.75] Look to the western sky
[04:39.48] As someone told me lately
[04:42.08] "Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly"
[04:46.95] And if I'm flying solo
[04:49.61] At least I'm flying free
[04:52.36] To those who'd ground me
[04:54.71] Take a message back from me
[04:58.68] Tell them how I am
[05:00.94] Defying gravity
[05:04.40] I'm flying high
[05:06.76] Defying gravity
[05:09.72] And soon I'll match them in renown
[05:14.99] And nobody in all of Oz
[05:18.45] No Wizard that there is or was
[05:21.56] Is ever gonna bring me down
[05:28.68] I hope you're happy
[05:31.04] Look at her, she's wicked
[05:33.65] Get her
[05:34.57] Bring me down(No one mourns the wicked)
[05:38.22] So we've got to bring her
[05:43.45] Ahh (down)
