Lyra - Defying Gravity

So, this is supposed to be happening right after Lord Asriel has killed Roger and the window to Cittagazze has been opened. Usually you can tell who's supposed to be talking by whose face is up there, but I put the lyrics in here anyway with little clues just in case! :P I suggest that you read it; the vid will probably be clearer. :) The song used is Defying Gravity by Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel, from Wicked. The clips are from The Golden Compass, of course! ;D Oh, and the grey parts are memories and the first scene where Mrs. Coulter talks are her thoughts.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own the song, clips, or characters used in this video. The song is the property of the Wicked cast and crew, the clips are from The Golden Compass by New Line Cinema, and the characters were created by Philip Pullman in his awesome His Dark Materials book series! :D PLEASE MAKE THE SUBTLE KNIFE!!!

The lyrics are below--oh, and I don't want to mislead you--there are no clips from the deleted ending in here. :( Sorry. Anyway, lyrics! :D (Yes, some have been changed to better suit the scenario! :))

LORD ASRIEL:
Lyra! Why couldn't you stay calm for once, instead of flying off the handle?
I hope you're happy!
I hope you're happy now!
I hope you're happy how you've hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you're clever!

LYRA:
I hope you're happy!
I hope you're happy too
I hope you're proud how you would grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition!

BOTH:
So though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy
Right now!

STELMARIA (LA'S DAEMON FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW:
Lyra, listen to me...just say you're sorry!
You can still be with your father
What you've worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted

LYRA:
I know...
But I don't want it
No...
I can't want it
Anymore...

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'lll try defying gravity
And you can't pull me down

PAN:
Can't I make you understand
You're having delusions of grandeur...?

LYRA:
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 think 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
And you can't pull me down

Pan...think of what we could do...together

Unlimited
Together we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team there's ever been
Pan...

Dreams the way we planned 'em
If we work in tandem
There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I defying gravity
With you and I defying gravity
They'll never bring us down

(This is where Mrs. Coulter comes running in...this part is her thoughts)

MRS. COULTER:
I hope you're happy
Now that you're choosing this
I hope it brings you bliss

MRS. COULTER AND THE GOLDEN MONKEY:
I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy...
My...friend...

LYRA: (To her parents)
So if you care to find me
Look to the Northern skies!
As someone told me lately
Everyone deserves a 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 the world
No father that I have or had (no, my version doesn't rhyme)
Is ever gonna bring me down

(And now the magisterium representatives come up trying to kill Lyra before she goes through the window)

MRS. COULTER:
I hope you're happy!

MAGISTERIUM:
Look at her!
She's wicked!
Get her!

LYRA:
Bring me down!

MAGISTERIUM:
So we've got to bring her...

LYRA:
Pan!

MAGISTERIUM:
Down!

THE END!
(This is where she goes through the window!)
