Lyrics of For good

(elphaba:)
I'm limited.
Just look at me.
I'm limited.
And just look at you.
You can do all i never could.
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 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 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 maybe,
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'll 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,
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 things i've done,
You blamed me for.

(glinda:)
But then,
I guess,
We know there's blame to share.

(both:)
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.

(glinda:)
And because i knew you...

(elphaba:)
Because i knew you...

(both:)
Because i knew you,
I have been changed...
For good.
