Defying Gravity Performance Version (Alternate Lyrics)

This version was derived from "Frei und Schwerelos," the German Version of "Defying Gravity". The German Version was translated into English loosely, so there are some parts that's not exactly translated, just added to make the lyrics make sense. It has some of the same or similar lyrics, but most of them are different. Enjoy!

E-You look for me in heaven,
But I disappear at night.
As someone told me lately, live your life like you have taken flight!
And if I fly alone here, do not arbitrate my cause.
You cannot feel what I feel with your mortal flaws.
And now you see I am free and weightless.
Still faithfully, I am free and weightless,
To fulfill my prophesy.
And nothing in the land of Oz, no munchkin, man, or set of laws, will help the wizard capture me!

G-Now are you happy?

O-Look at them, the witches! Get em!

E-Capture me!

O-No one mourns for witches. Capture them before they flee!

E-I'm free!

***IF YOU SING THIS, PLEASE POST AS A VIDEO RESPONSE!!! I WANT TO HEAR!***

this really is a new version, not at all a translation^^

you should have paid less attention to rhyming and instead stayed more faithful to the content...

[tapdawg8]

@maxi2310 What can I say? I like end rhyme. =P But yeah, I know what you mean. Thanks for the feedback!

[DreamingofActing]

LOL, the german version IS very different!

[tapdawg8]

@DreamingofActing well actually, LOSTACTOR1988 is right. This is probably no where near to the actual translation of the German lyrics. lol. But you have to admit, it's a fresh twist on DefGrav.

[LOSTACTOR1988]

Nice version.

But that is not even loosly.

Most of it has nothign to do with the German lyrics. Sorry to say that, what you created completly new lyrics ;)

[tapdawg8]

No, it's true that a lot of it was probably not on point. I used an online translator and they're notorious for translation problems, so...that's probably why. I have no clue what the words actually mean, so I really didn't 'translate' it myself. But thanks!

[twilightfan1231000]

Ah, the ever poetic German lyrics. I simply love this! I think I like it better than the actual English lyrics!

[Treemeadow]

I don't care that its not a diret translation of German. You're version is still awesome.

"no munchkin, man or set of laws"

"live your life like you have taken flight"
