I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason
bringing something we must learn,
and we are lead 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 the 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 skybird in a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you I have been changed for good
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
I have been changed for good
--For Good, Wicked
