For Good

LETRA

For Good

[ELPHABA]
I'm limited

[ELPHABA, spoken]
Just look at me
Not with your eyes, with theirs

[ELPHABA]
I'm limited
And just look at you
You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda

[ELPHABA, spoken]
Here, take it

[GLINDA, spoken]
What? But you know I, I can't read this, I—

[ELPHABA, spoken]
Well, you have to learn

[ELPHABA]
Because 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 rewritten 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

[GLINDA & ELPHABA]
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

[GLINDA & ELPHABA]
And none of it seems to matter anymore

[GLINDA & ELPHABA]
Like a comet pulled from orbit (Like a ship blown from its mooring)
As it passes a sun (By a wind off the sea)
Like a stream that meets a boulder (Like a seed dropped by a bird)
Halfway through the wood (In the wood)
[GLINDA & ELPHABA]
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

[GLINDA & ELPHABA]
Because I knew you
I have been changed
For good
