"Defying Gravity"

I’m through accepting limits ‘cause someone says they’re so.
I’m through with following orders and being told no.
You think you can tell me what to do? That you’re the boss of me?
Well I’m telling you, that I’m following my heart now. I am free.

Something has changed within me.
Something is not the same.

All the pain I’ve been through
You’re the one to blame.
I’m through playing your game.
The person you turned out to be, you should be ashamed.

You go on and on about how you’re the best.
What makes you better than me and all the rest?
I think I’ll try defying gravity
And you won’t bring me down!


I wish I knew who you really were before
But now I know there are better things in store.
It’s honesty and a heart you lack.
I’m gone, and I know I can’t go back.
Too late for second guessing, too late to go back to sleep.
It’s time to trust my instincts, close my eyes and leap!


I’m through with being held down by your chains.
Newsflash, I’m my own person. You no longer reign.
Kiss me goodbye, I’m defying gravity
And you won’t bring me down!
