Rachel:

Something has changed within me,

Something is not the same.

I'm through with playing by the rules

Of someone else's game.

Kurt:

Too late for second-guessing,

Too late to go back to sleep.

It's time to trust my instincts,

Close my eyes and leap.

Both:

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...

Rachel:

I'm through accepting limits

'Cause someone says they're so.

Kurt:

Some things I cannot change,

But till I try, I'll never know.

Rachel:

Too long I've been afraid of

Kurt:

Losing love-- I guess I've lost.

Both:

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.

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!

Ahhahhoahh
