Defying Gravity

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 
Kiss me goodbye 
I am defying gravity 
And you wont bring 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 
I think I'll try 
Defying gravity 
And you wont bring me down! 

I'd sooner buy 
Defying gravity 
Kiss me goodbye 
I'm defying gravity 
I think I'll try 
Defying gravity 
And you won't bring me down! 
bring me down! 
ohh ohhh ohhhh!

One of Us

If God had a name, what would it be
And would you call it to His face
If you were faced with Him in all His glory
What would you ask if you had just one question

Yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make His way home

If God had a face, what would it look like
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that you would have to believe
In things like Heaven and in Jesus and the Saints
And all the Prophets and…

Yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make His way home

Tryin’ to make His way home
Back up to Heaven all alone
Nobody callin’ on the phone
‘Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome


Yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make His way home

Just tryin’ to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to Heaven all alone
Just tryin’ to make his way home
Nobody callin’ on the phone
‘Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome
   

Loser Like Me

Yeah, you may think that I'm a zero
But hey, everyone you wanna be probably started off like me
You may say that I'm a freak show (I don't care)
But hey, give it just a little time, I betcha gonna change your mind

All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take (That's right)
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away (That's right)

Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth (So everyone can hear)
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down (Baby, I don't care)
Keep it up and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be, you wanna be
A loser like me! A loser like me!

Push me up against the locker
And hey, all I'll do is shake it off, and getcha back when I'm your boss
I'm not thinkin' 'bout you haters
'Cause hey, I could be a superstar, I'll see you when you wash my car

All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take (That's right)
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away (That's right)

Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth (So everyone can hear)
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down (Baby i don't care)

Keep it up and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be, you wanna be
A loser like me!
A loser like me!
A loser like me!

Hey you over there, keep that 'L' up, up in the air
Hey you over there, keep that 'L' up, 'cause I don't care
You can throw your sticks, and you can throw your stones
Like a rocket, just watch me go yeah
L-O-S-E-R, I can only be who I are!

Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth (So everyone can hear)
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down (Baby, I don't care)
Keep it up and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be, you wanna be
A loser like me!

Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth (So everyone can hear)
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down (Baby, I don't care)
Keep it up and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be, you wanna be
A loser like me! (A loser like me!)
A loser like me! (A loser like me!)
A loser like me!

Get It Right

What have I done 
Wish I could run 
Away from this ship going under 
Just trying to help 
Hurt everyone else 
Now I feel the weight of the world 
Is on my shoulders 

What can you do 
When your good isn't good enough 
And all that you touch tumbles down 
Cause my best intentions 
Keep making a mess of things 
I just wanna fix it somehow 
But how many times will it take 
Oh how many times will it take 
For me to get it right 
To get it right 

Can I start again 
With my faith shaken 
Cause I can't go back and undo this 
I just have to stay and face my mistakes 
But if I get stronger and wiser 
I'll get through this 
What can you do 
When your good isn't good enough 
And all that u touch tumbles down 

Cause my best intentions 
Keep making a mess of things 
I just wanna fix it somehow 
But how many times will it take 
Oh how many times will it take 
For me to get it right 

So I throw up my fist 
Throw a punch in the air and 
Accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair 
Yeah I'll send out a wish 
Yeah I'll send up a prayer 
And finally someone will see 
How much I care 

What can you do 
When your good isn't good enough 
And all that you touch tumbles down 
Oh my best intentions 
Keep making a mess of things 
Just wanna fix it somehow 
But how many times will it take 
Oh, how many times will it take 
To get it right, to get it right
