Defying Gravity

This is an old song I fell in love with during college... Unfortunately when I was looking for a good clip on youtube this is the best one I could find tonight. I like that Glee redid it, brought the message back to a whole new group of people.  But the best version is by Idina Menzel. It's just difficult to find a good version of her singing it on youtube :)




Defying Gravity
Soemthing 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
Somethings 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 won't 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!
Oohh oh ohh

I've always been touched by this song but this time around, it brings something else to the surface... I truly am tired of playing by the rules of someone else's game... what's the worst that could happen if I "trust my instincts / Close my eyes: and leap"?
