'For Good' (From the Musical Show Wicked) - Kristen Chenowith
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 don't 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 have learned from you
you'll be with me, like a handprint on my heart
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 skybird 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 what you blame me for...
but then I guess there is 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
I have been changed for good
