For Good

(Rachel:) I'm limited:
Just look at me - I'm limited
And just look at you -
You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda
So now it's up to you
(spoken) For both of us
(sung) Now it's up to you
(Kurt:) 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 a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
(Rachel:) 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 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 I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
(Kurt:) Because I knew you
(both:) I have been changed for good
(Rachel:) And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for
(Kurt:) But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share
(both:) And none of it seems to matter anymore
(Kurt:) Like a comet pulled
(Rachel:) Like a ship blown
(Kurt:) From orbit as it
(Rachel:) Off it's mooring
(Kurt:) Passes a sun, like
(Rachel:) By a wind off the
(Kurt:) A stream that meets
(Rachel:) Sea, like a seed
(Kurt:) A boulder, half-way
(Rachel:) Dropped by a
(Kurt:) Through the wood
(Rachel:) Bird in the wood
(both:) Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better
(Kurt:) And because I knew you
(Rachel) Because I knew you
(both:) Because I knew you
I have been changed
For good
