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
And you can't pull me down!

GLINDA
Can't I make you understand?
You're having delusions of grandeur:

ELPHABA
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
And you can't pull me down:
(spoken) Glinda - come with me. Think of what we could
do: together.

(sung) Unlimited
Together we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever been
Glinda -
Dreams, the way we planned 'em

GLINDA
If we work in tandem:

BOTH
There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravity

ELPHABA
They'll never bring us down!
(spoken) Well? Are you coming?

GLINDA
I hope you're happy
Now that you're choosing this

ELPHABA
(spoken) You too
(sung) I hope it brings you bliss

BOTH
I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy, my friend:

ELPHABA So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:
"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity
I'm flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!

GLINDA
I hope you're happy!

CITIZENS OF OZ
Look at her, she's wicked!
Get her!

ELPHABA
:Bring me down!

CITIZENS OF OZ
No one mourns the wicked
So we've got to bring her

ELPHABA
Ahhh!

CITIZENS OF OZ
Down!

I really would love for Lea to sing this, so she could fulfill my fantasy of her being Elphaba, but if we're to believe the rumors that Chris sings it, I think it will suit his voice wonderfully! smile.gif

I'm excited to see the context of them singing. And it's an interesting pair, we haven't really seen Kurt and Rachel interact much yet.

I'm really obsessing over which one of them will wind up singing lead vocals on this. I really want to hear Lea sing the song, but I want to see Kurt (the character, I mean) perform it... perhaps Kurt will sing it on the show, and Lea will maybe record it herself? That sounds ideal to me.

Then again, maybe they'll do it as a duet instead of one of them just singing Glinda's part?

interview with Chris Colfer and Amber Riley

http://ten.com.au/video-player.htm?channel...rchris-extended

He mentions that DG is in episode 8, then later, the interviewer asks if they can request songs, and he mentions that he was complaining about not being able to sing DG in high school, and then it got written in.

This is only an assumption on my part, but if he was the one who got it written in, and was obviously the one who wanted to sing it, there's a good chance he's got lead vocals. It might even be half and half, as Tiggy suggested earlier in the thread, though I personally hope Lea gets Glinda's part and Chris gets Elphaba. Honestly, it would be awesome.

My thoughts exactly. It was Chris's real life story that made Ryan put it in the show, it's Chris who's been dying for the chance to sing this song for years, and it's Chris who is the only main cast member who hasn't had a single solo part since his audition in the pilot.

I love Lea/Rachel and I love her voice, but if she gets lead vocals on this and overshadows Chris/Kurt as well as the significance of the song in relation to his life, I will be enormously enraged and inconsolably heartbroken for him.

Not even exaggerating here. I'll be GUTTED. So much so that it would probably impact the way I feel about the show as a whole.

Regardless, though, I'm sure the song will be gorgeous. Very excited to see it.

P.S. Any news on whether this is the episode where Kurt gives Rachel a makeover? laugh.gif

Just for the record, the reason I want Rachel to sing it is because I actually want to hear how Lea would sound singing it. I'm all for hearing Kurt sing it on the show/getting solos!
