Defying Gravity Lyrics by Mr. Big

Live from Milan

2017

I was trapped in a bubble of ordinary
And I'm dying for a little mystery
Tearing away with the mask on my face
Changing my ancient history
I have faith in my fate
I am not afraid

I won't be a victim of circumstances
If I don't hear the music, I can't dance
What am I worth if I don't take a turn
I crash and I burn, I took my chance
I have faith in my fate
I am not afraid

The eyes of the world
The way they weigh me down

[Chorus]
Time has come when I'll be gone
Beyond the great unknown
I'll be flying free, defying gravity
Cut the strings and say a prayer
And take off on my own
Me, I'm flying free, defying gravity
Gravity, defying gravity, eh hey

I was born with the heart of a true believer
At the top of the tree the fruit gets sweeter
Just good enough is never enough
Man, I'm just a dreamer

The eyes of the world
The way they weigh me down

[Chorus]
Time has come when I'll be gone
Beyond the great unknown
I'll be flying free, defying gravity
Cut the strings and say a prayer
And take off on my own
Me, I'm flying free, defying gravity
Gravity, defying gravity, oh oh oh

Somewhere out there there is a place where I belong
In a wondrous garden where the voices in my head are gone

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh
Oh oh oh

[Chorus]
Time has come when I'll be gone
Beyond the great unknown
I'll be flying free, defying gravity
Cut the strings and say a prayer
And take off on my own
Me, I'm flying free, defying gravity

Time has come when I'll be gone
I'll be flying free, defying gravity
Cut the strings and say a prayer
Me, I'm flying free, defying gravity
