Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

Unlimited

My future is

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

[Verse 6]

Flying so high (I'm defying gravity)

Kiss me goodbye (I'm defying gravity)

[Verse 7]

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 and you won't bring me down

Bring me down

Bring me down

Ah
