Gravity, by its definition is the means which causes objects with mass to fall to the ground when dropped. It is something that happens by default; that everything, when dropped, or caused to drop, is bound to fall to the ground. And isn't it quite true, that falling -except falling in love, perhaps- is one thing that makes us, human, afraid. Falling is identical with failing, with being hurt, with being painful, with being disappointed. And that is not surprising that we have this latent fear inside of us; to be afraid to fall when we are at high grounds, and much more when we are to take the risks to leap, with a clear ideas in our mind that we are bound to fall to the ground with our high position at stake. That will mean putting your pride at risk, you say. Well, I'd say, I agree with what a song says, if that is what pride means, it comes at much too high a cost. The possibility to resist the gravity and go up even higher instead of falling. If scientists can come up with a rocket, why can't we resist the belief that we can't leap and fly without the fear of falling?
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 instinct
Close my eyes and leap!
It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
And you won't bring me down
I'm through accepting limits
'Cause someone says they're so
Someone we 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 won't bring me down
