So if you care to find me/ Look to the western sky/ As someone told me lately/ Everyone deserves the chance to fly! / And if I'm flying solo/ At least I'm flying free/ Tell 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! / . Stephen Schwartz
