defying gravity.

the other night I watched an episode of Glee where Kurt and Rachel
had an audition "show-off" and they sang Defying Gravity from the Wicked

I love that song.
and right now its just so appropriate
I actually cried when I heard it...

everybody said I can't make it
that I'm wasting my time and my parents' hard-earned money
and I entered school with a nonchalant attitude
telling myself that it does not matter if I fail
because I did not choose this
but deep inside I know that it matters
and that no matter what I say I had somehow
CHOSEN this

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 wont 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 never bring me down!
bring me down!
ohh ohhh ohhhh!
