For Good
'''''Elphaba'''''
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
'''''Glinda'''''
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
'''''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
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...
'''''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 I've done you blame me for
'''''Glinda'''''
But then,
I guess we know there's blame to share
'''''Both'''''
And none of it seems to matter anymore...
'''''Glinda & Elphaba'''''
Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes the sun
(Like a ship blown from its mooring by a wind off the sea)
Like a stream the meets a boulder halfway through the wood
(Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood)
Who can say if I've 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
