For Good

[ELPHABA] I'm limited [ELPHABA, spoken] Just look at me Not with your eyes, with theirs [ELPHABA] I'm limited And just look at you You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda [ELPHABA, spoken] Here, take it [GLINDA, spoken] What? But you know I, I can't read this, I— [ELPHABA, spoken] Well, you have to learn [ELPHABA] Because 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 rewritten 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 [GLINDA & ELPHABA] 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 [GLINDA & ELPHABA] 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) [GLINDA & ELPHABA] 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 [GLINDA & ELPHABA] Because I knew you I have been changed For good
