I got the weight of this world on my shoulders
I'm not letting life get me down
With every beat of my heart I'm getting bolder
Defying gravity

I'm not wasting time in the safe-zone
I'm just a spirit in a human disguise
I'm gonna rise above my reputation
Defying gravity

Faster than the speed of lightning
Higher than the clouds we climb
Quiet as the silent thunder
Deep inside this heart of mine

Into the restless blue
This one's breaking through
I'll live my fantasy
I'm flying free
Defying gravity

Shed these earthbound shoes
Shake these small town blues
There's a fire in you and me
Rebels are we
Defying gravity

You and me, we're trapped in a vision
They give you limits and boundaries
Its not by chance, it's by decision
Defying gravity

Louder than the sound of thunder
Deeper than the spell I'm under
Hotter than a hurricane

Into the restless blue
This one's breaking through
I'll live my fantasy
I'm flying free
Defying gravity

Shed these earthbound shoes
Shake these small town blues
There's a fire in you and me
Rebels are we
Defying gravity

Floating weightless, every breath
Gambling chances, cheating death
Rise above this madding crowd
The Earth is moving fast and proud

Into the restless blue
This one's breaking through
I'll live my fantasy
I'm flying free
Defying gravity

Shed these earthbound shoes
Shake these small town blues
There's a fire in you and me
Rebels are we
Defying gravity

Shed these earthbound shoes
Shake these small town blues
There's a fire in you and me
Rebels are we
Defying gravity
