Defying Gravity

Wicked is one of my all time favorite musicals. It’s truly of the total package of a show; it has an amazing story, great music and one of the best stage presentations I have ever seen. I love so much of the music and it talks about the need for purpose and finding your way and meaning in life. I think that is such an amazing theme and as a twenty something, it’s the whole purpose of this part of my life. Trying to figure out what I am meant to do and where that will lead me.

Of these the fear of doing what your truly meant to do can be the thing that scares you off and makes it so hard to reach your full potential. So in theme with this idea I thought I would post one of my favorite songs for that show:

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 at 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
