For Good Lyrics

For Good lyrics

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 thing 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) Like a comet pulled from orbit

As it passes a sun

Like a stream that meets a boulder

Halfway through the wood



(Elphaba) Like a ship blown from its mooring 

By a wind off the sea

Like a seed dropped by a 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



(Glinda) And because I knew you...



(Elphaba) Because I knew you...



(Both) Because I knew you...

I have been changed for good.
