LYRICS:
[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 the 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 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 blame 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 its mooring)
As it passes the 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)
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.
