Defying Gravity

One of the biggest things in my Bucket List is to see a Broadway musical in New York City.  The one I'd most like to see would be Wicked; I'm not sure when they do it or if they'll even do it again.  But, a girl can dream, right?  My favorite song from the soundtrack is Defying Gravity.  It has an amazing message, too.  I guess I'm not doing this so much for you guys, but for me.  To remind me of what I can do when I set my mind to it.

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

And you can't pull 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 with much too high a cost!

I'd sooner buy defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye -- I'm defying gravity

And you can't pull me down!

So if you care to find me

Look to the western sky!

As someone told me lately:

"Everyone deserves the chance to fly!"

And if I'm flying solo

At least I'm flying free

To those who'd ground me

Take a message back from me

Tell them how I am defying gravity

I'm flying high defying gravity

And nobody is ever gonna bring me down!

I believe this shall be my new theme song.  No one will ever bring me down the way I was brought down ever again.  I am defined by me, and me only.  My life is precious, there's not a second to waste.  I graduate soon... and what am I doing with my life?  Well, I'm defying gravity.
