Defying Gravity
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was trapped in a bubble of ordinary
And I'm dying for a little mystery
Tearing away with the mask on my face
Changing my ancient history
I have faith in my fate
I am not afraid
I won't be a victim of circumstances
If I don't hear the music, I can't dance
What am I worth if I don't take a turn
I crash and I burn, I took my chance
I have faith in my fate
I am not afraid
The eyes of the world
The way they weigh me down
Time has come when I'll be gone
Beyond the great unknown
I'll be flying free, defying gravity
Cut the strings and say a prayer
And take off on my own
Me, I'm flying free, defying gravity
Gravity, defying gravity
I was born with the heart of a true believer
At the top of the tree the fruit gets sweeter
Just good enough is never enough
Man, I'm just a dreamer
The eyes of the world
The way they weigh me down
Time has come when I'll be gone
Beyond the great unknown
I'll be flying free, defying gravity
Cut the strings and say a prayer
And take off on my own
Me, I'm flying free, defying gravity
Gravity, defying gravity
Somewhere out there there's a place where I belong
In a wondrous garden where the voices in my head are gone
Time has come when I'll be gone
Beyond the great unknown
I'll be flying free, defying gravity
Cut the strings and say a prayer
And take off on my own
Me, I'm flying free, defying gravity
Time has come when I'll be gone
I'll be flying free, defying gravity
Cut the strings and say a prayer
Me, I'm flying free, defying gravity
