For Good

Im limited 
Just look at me 
Im 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...
 
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 


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 from 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
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 blame me for
But then, I guess we know  
There's blame to share
And none of it seems to matter anymore


#because I knew you, I have been changed for good
