for good (from wicked original Broadway cast recording2003)

[ELPHABA]
Im limited
Just look at me
Im limited
And just look at you
You can do all I couldnt do
Glinda
So now its up to you
For both of us
Now its up to you
[GLINDA]
Ive 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 thats true
But I know Im who I am today
Because I knew you
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say
If Ive been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed
For good
[ELPHABA]
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
Youll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say
If Ive been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
[GLINDA]
Because I knew you
[BOTH]
I have been changed
For good
[ELPHABA]
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things Ive done
You blame me for
[GLINDA]
But then, I guess
We know theres blame to share
[BOTH]
And none of it seems to matter
Anymore
[GLINDA & ELPHABA]
Like a comet pulled from orbit
Like a ship blown from its mooring
As it passes a sun
By a wind off the sea
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Like a seed dropped by a bird
Halfway through the wood
In the wood
[BOTH]
Who can say
If Ive been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better
[GLINDA]
And because I knew you
[ELPHABA]
Because I knew you
[BOTH]
Because I knew you
I have been changed
For good
