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 (Spoken) For both of us (Sung) 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:][Chorus:] Because I knew you [BOTH:][Chorus:] 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 Like a ship blown From orbit as it Off it's mooring Passes a sun, like By a wind off the A stream that meets Sea, like a seed A boulder, half-way Dropped by a Through the wood 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:][Chorus:] Because I knew you I have been changed for good
