For Good

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, for both of us

Now it's up to you

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

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 sky bird

In a distant wood

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

But because I knew you

Because I knew you

I have been changed for good

And just to clear the air, I ask forgiveness

For the things I've done you blame me for

But then, I guess we know there's blame to share

And none of it seems to matter anymore

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)

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

I do believe I have been changed for the better

And because I knew you

Because I knew you

Because I knew you

I have been changed

For good
