Defying Gravity

Chris Colfer (Kurt)

from the episode 1.09 of Glee (from the musical Wicked)

I think that I should explain the origin of the name of this blog. It is the title of a song I discovered thanks to the tv series Glee. I was completely in the dark abou the existence of this musical based on the characters of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz! I tried to listen the original song, but I discovered I prefer Glee version far and away! :) So, here it is, the version singed by Chris Colfer (Kurt), and after the lyrics the one by Lea Michele (Rachel).

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
Kiss me goodbye
I am defying gravity
And you won't bring me down!

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
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you wont 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!
Ohh ohhh ohhhh!
