For Good

(from Wicked)

I've heard it said

That people come into our lives for a reason,

Bringing something we must learn

And we are led to those who help us most to grow,

If we let them, and we help them in return.

Well, I dont know if I believe that's true

But I know I'm who I am today

Because I knew you

Like a comet pulled from orbit

As it passes the sun,

Like a stream that meets a boulder

Halfway through the wood,

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?

Because I knew you

I have been changed for good.

It well may be

That we will never meet again in this lifetime

So, let me say before we part;

So much of me is made of what I learned from you,

You'll be with me

Like a hand print on my heart

And now whatever way our stories end,

I know you have rewritten mine by

Being my friend

Like a ship blown from it's mooring
By a wind off the sea,

Like a seed dropped by a sky bird

In a distant wood

Who can say if I've been changed for the better
Because I knew you
I have been changed for good

And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness for all the things you blamed me for
But then I guess, we both have blame to share
And none of it seems to matter anymore

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes the sun,
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood,
Who can say if I've been changed for the better

I do believe I have been changed for the better

Because I knew you
Because I knew you
Because I knew you

I have been changed....for good!
