For Good

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 (still me) 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 hand print 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 it's mooring By a wind off the sea Like a sea dropped by a sky bird Half way through the 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 blamed 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 it's mooring) As it passes a sun (By a wind off the sea) Like a stream that meets a boulder (Like a sea dropped by 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
