Defying Gravity...yes, I'm flying solo!

Defying Gravity...inspirational in the title alone. This might possibly be my favorite Broadway show-tune. It tells the hopes and dreams of two best friends soaring above the status quo and the equilibrium of image and what looks right and doing right to look good. When I think of this song, I want to be on a broom, flying through the air with the wind blowing through my air, with no worries of being held down by social standards, but flying above those and being myself with my best friends, Kara, Hannah, Danielle, and my mom, next to me. Together, we can do anything and I believe that.

So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:
"Ev'ryone 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 soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!
