Defying Gravity
[Elphaba, Glinda, Glinda & Elphaba, ensemble]
[spoken parts]

**************************************************


glinda:
[Elphaba - why couldn't you have stayed calm for once,
instead of flying off the handle!?]
I hope you're happy!
I hope you're happy now.
I hope you're happy how you
Hurt your cause forever!
I hope you think you're clever!


elphie:
I hope you're happy!
I hope you're happy, too.
I hope you're proud how you
Would grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition.


both(glinda):
So though I can't imagine how,
I hope you're happy, right now.

glinda:
[Elphie, listen to me.
Just say you're sorry.]
You can still be with the Wizard,
What you've worked and waited for.
You can have all you ever wanted.


elphie:
[I know.]
But I don't want it.
No, I can't want it anymore.

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...?


elphie:
I'm through accepting limits,
'Cuz 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
Loosing love I guess I've lost.
Well, if that's love,
It comes at much to high a cost!

I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye!
I'm defying gravity,
And you can't pull me down.

[Glinda, come with me.
Think of what we could do.
Together.]

Unlimited.
Together we're unlimited.
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever been.
Glinda, dreams the way we planned them...


glinda:
...If we work in tandem...

both: glinda:
There's no fight we cannot win.
Just you and I defying gravity!
With you and I, defying gravity,


elphie:
They'll never bring us down.

[Well, are you coming?]


glinda:
I hope you're happy, now that you're choosing this.


elphie:
[You too.]
I hope it brings you bliss.


[both] glinda:
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.


elphie:
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'm
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.------------(Look at her, she's wicked! Get her!)

Bring me down!------------------(No one mourns the wicked! So we've got to bring her


Ohhhhh -------------------- down!)

Wicked : For Good Lyrics
Elphaba; Glinda
*************************************


(Elphaba):
I'm limited
Just look at me - I'm limited
And just look at you
You can do all I couldn't do,
Glinda
So now it's up to you
(For both of us) - now it's up to you...


(Glinda):
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you...

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good


(Elphaba):
Wenn wir uns hier
Vielleicht auch nie mehr wiedersehn.
Was ich fühle
Ist eher Dankbarkeit als Schmerz.
Du lebst in mir.
Ich hab so viel gelernt von dir.
Deine Handschrift
Schrieb mir wichtiges ins Herz.
Und was in meinem Buch des Lebens stand,
Wird umgeschrieben neu erzählt,
Nur weil ich dich fand.

Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you


(Glinda):
Because I knew you

(Both):(just glinda)
I have been changed for good


(Elphaba):
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done
you blame me for


(Glinda):
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share

(Both):(just glinda)
And none of it seems to matter anymore

(Glinda): (skip the elphaba parts here - too much to take ^^)
Like a comet pulled from orbit - As it passes a sun
-----(Elphaba):Like a ship blown from its mooring
Like a stream that meets a boulder
-----(Elphaba): By a wind off the sea
Halfway through the wood
-----(Elphaba): Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood


(Both):(elphaba)
Who can say if I've been
Changed for the better?
I do believe I have been
Changed for the better


(Glinda):
And because I knew you...

(Elphaba):
Because I knew you...

(Both):
Because I knew you... (glinda)
I have been changed (elphaba)
for good... (glinda)

glinda:
"Dearest darlingest Momsie and Popsicle..."

elphie:
"My dear Father... "

glinda:
There's been some confusion
Over rooming here at Shiz...

elphie:
But of course, I'll care for Nessa...

glinda:
But of course, I'll rise above it...
For I know that's how you'd want me to respond
"Yes."

elphie:
There's been some confusion
For you see, my room-mate is...

glinda:
Unusually and exceedingly peculiar
And altogether quite impossible to describe...

elphi:
Blonde.

glinda:
What is this feeling
So sudden and new?

elphi:
I felt the moment
I laid eyes on you...

glinda:
My pulse is rushing...

elphi:
My head is reeling...

glinda:
My face is flushing...
What is this feeling?
Fervid as a flame
Does it have a name?
Yes!

Loathing
Unadulterated loathing...
For your face...

elphi:
Your voice...

glinda:
Your clothing...
Let's just say -- I loathe it all!
Ev'ry little trait, however small
Makes my very flesh begin to crawl

elphi:
With simple utter loathing
There's a strange exhilaration
In such total detestation
It's so pure! So strong!

glinda:
Though I do admit it came on fast
Still I do believe that it can last
And I will be loathing
Loathing you my whole life long!


------------------------skip this part???

Dear Galinda, you are just too good!
How do you stand it? I don't think I could!
She's a terror! She's a Tartar!
We don't mean to show a bias
But Galinda you're a martyr!

Well ... these things are sent to try us!

Poor Galinda, forced to reside
With someone so disgusticified.
We just want to tell you:
We're all on your side!
We share your...
-----------------------------------till here????


elphi:
What is this feeling------------------------------(loathing)

As Long As You're Mine - Original English Lyrics
[Elphaba, Fiyero]
***********************************


Elphie:
Kiss me too fiercely
Hold me too tight
I need help believing
You're with me tonight
My wildest dreamings
Could not forsee
Lying beside you
With you wanting me

And just for this moment
As long as you're mine
I've lost all resistance
And crossed some border line
And if it turns out
It's over too fast
I'll make every last moment last
As long as you're mine ...


Fiyero:
Maybe I'm brainless
Maybe I'm wise
But you've got me seeing
Through different eyes
Somehow I've fallen
Under your spell
And somehow I'm feeling
It's 'up' that I fell ...


both (Fiyero:)
Every moment
As long as you're mine
I'll wake up my body
And make up for lost time ...

Fiyero:
Say there's no future
For us as a pair ...

both (Fiyero:)
And though I may know
I don't care ...


both (Elphie:)
Just for this moment
As long as you're mine
Come be how you want to
And see how bright we shine.

both (Elphie:)
Borrow the moonlight
Until it is through
And know I'll be here holding you
As long as you're mine ...


Fiyero:
What is it?
Elphie:
It's just -- for the first time, I feel wicked.

Wie ein Schiff, erfasst vom Sturmwind,
Auf dem Weg übers Meer.
Wie ein Samen, den ein Vogel trägt,
Wer weiß, wohin.
Du warst du da, darum hab ich mich verändert.
Nur weil wir uns kannten,
Weil wir uns kannten,
Bin ich heut, wie ich bin.

And none of it seems to matter anymore

Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes the sun
Like a ship blown off its mooring by a wind off the sea
Like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood
Like a seed dropped by a skybird in the wood

Who can say if
I've been changed for the better?
I do believe
I have been changed for the better.

And because I knew you...
weil wir uns kannten,...
wasurenai...
I have been changed for good...

(Elphaba):
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part:
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you.
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart.
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...

Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
