Verse 1:
Hey, where did everybody go?
Busy living life just so
End up dying all alone

Hey, I know things aren't ideal
Sick of facing all the real
It's hard enough to follow what you feel

Sitting idle doesn't get things done...

Chorus:
If there's ever been a chance to rise above and make a difference
We can make it, so let's take it
If life with passion's what you want, It's nice to know you're not the only one
We can make it, so let's take it

Verse 2:
They tell you what they want to hear
Forget the truth, they're preaching fear
They say the end is drawing near

They've got their notions preconceived
But is that really what we need
Distractions keeping us from chasing all our dreams...

Sitting idle doesn't get things done...

Verse 1:
It's cold and dark in Tennessee.
You're waiting for some light to shine,
Well baby, same with me
I care not for what I do or what I see
Fear has guided me into complacency

So come on, tell me…

Chorus:
Come drive with me.
If we stay this rain can last all day,
Or we can ride away until it's clear.
Come drive with me.
With you I swear this car is growing wings.
Come fly.

Verse 2:
I know you're cold and lonely too.
Hope for lack of gray on better days,
Is helping pull you through.
The search for truth is nothing new.
But it all seems so damn findable when it's just me and you.

So come on…

Chorus

Bridge:
They'll all say that we've lost our minds,
While they're busy wasting theirs away.
We'll crash down in the deep blue sea,
Climb the mountains, storm the trees
We'll find our souls anywhere but here.

Chorus

Verse 1:
It's strange how a song could say what I couldn't,
Words trip over tongues on the way.
Took a good friend to visit, and mention your name,
To send me straight back to the day.

You left me…

Verse 2:
Months fell into years with the coming of springs
I fought with the coldest of hearts.
Headfirst into the seasons your voice became distant,
The butterflies and bitterness…

They left me…

Bridge:
And time has a way of taking its own sweet self
The next thing you know I'm putting your love on the shelf

Verse 3:
Now all of those things that name used to mean
Are merely an echo now.
Those feelings dies when I died,
with the part of me that once held you.

They left me…

Verse 1:
Stuck inside this melee
You wanna throw it all away
Just to see what you'd be
If you could let yourself be free

Don't let 'em kick you around
Cause once you're up they wanna knock you down
Darlin please, you're staring down the sun
But you won't look away

Chorus:
The weight of the world ain't just for one girl
So let it go child
The weight of the world ain't just on one girl
So let it go child

Verse 2:
Sometimes you're going nowhere
You're doin' all the things you think you've gotta say but
Everybody's got their way with you
But you can have your way with them

Chorus

Chorus

Composed by Stephen Schwartz
Arranged by Philos

Verse 1:
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...

Chorus:
It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down...

Verse 2:
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...

Chorus

Bridge:
Tell them how I'm defying gravity
I'm flying high defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down...
You can't pull me down...
