1
GLINDA
2
(spoken) Elphaba - why couldn't you have just stayed calm for once, instead of flying off the handle!
3
(sung) I hope you're happy!
4
I hope you're happy now
5
I hope you're happy how you
6
Hurt your cause forever
7
I hope you think you're clever!
8
ELPHABA
9
I hope you're happy
10
I hope you're happy, too
11
I hope you're proud how you
12
Would grovel in submission
13
To feed your own ambition
14
BOTH
15
So though I can't imagine how
16
I hope you're happy right now
17
GLINDA
18
(spoken) Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry:
19
(sung) You can still be with the Wizard
20
What you've worked and waited for
21
You can have all you ever wanted:
22
ELPHABA
23
(spoken) I know:
24
(sung) But I don't want it -
25
No - I can't want it
26
Anymore:
27
Something has changed within me
28
Something is not the same
29
I'm through with playing by the rules
30
Of someone else's game
31
Too late for second-guessing
32
Too late to go back to sleep
33
It's time to trust my instincts
34
Close my eyes and leap!
35
It's time to try
36
Defying gravity
37
I think I'll try
38
Defying gravity
39
And you can't pull me down!
40
GLINDA
41
Can't I make you understand?
42
You're having delusions of grandeur:
43
ELPHABA
44
I'm through accepting limits
45
'cause someone says they're so
46
Some things I cannot change
47
But till I try, I'll never know!
48
Too long I've been afraid of
49
Losing love I guess I've lost
50
Well, if that's love
51
It comes at much too high a cost!
52
I'd sooner buy
53
Defying gravity
54
Kiss me goodbye
55
I'm defying gravity
56
And you can't pull me down:
57
(spoken) Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could
58
do, together.
59
(sung) Unlimited
60
Together we're unlimited
61
Together we'll be the greatest team
62
There's ever been
63
Glinda -
64
Dreams, the way we planned 'em
65
GLINDA
66
If we work in tandem:
67
BOTH
68
There's no fight we cannot win
69
Just you and I
70
Defying gravity
71
With you and I
72
Defying gravity
73
ELPHABA
74
They'll never bring us down!
75
(spoken) Well? Are you coming?
76
GLINDA
77
I hope you're happy
78
Now that you're choosing this
79
ELPHABA
80
(Spoken) You too
81
(Sung) I hope it brings you bliss
82
GLINDA
83
I really hope you get it
84
And you don't live to regret it
85
BOTH
86
I hope you're happy in the end
87
I hope you're happy, my friend:
88
ELPHABA
89
So if you care to find me
90
Look to the western sky!
91
As someone told me lately:
92
"Everyone deserves the chance to fly!"
93
And if I'm flying solo
94
At least I'm flying free
95
To those who'd ground me
96
Take a message back from me
97
Tell them how I am
98
Defying gravity
99
I'm flying high
100
Defying gravity
101
And soon I'll match them in renown!
102
And nobody in all of Oz
103
No Wizard that there is or was
104
Is ever gonna bring me down!
105
GLINDA
106
I hope you're happy!
107
CITIZENS OF OZ
108
Look at her, she's wicked!
109
Get her!
110
ELPHABA
111
Bring me down!
112
CITIZENS OF OZ
113
No one mourns the wicked
114
So we've got to bring her
115
ELPHABA
116
Ahhh!
117
CITIZENS OF OZ
118
Down!
