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 couldn't do, 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 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):
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 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):
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood

(elphaba):
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant 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):
Because i knew you...
I have been changed for good...
