Idina Menzel - For Good Lyrics

Complimentary "For Good" Ringtone

ELPHABA
"I'm limited..."
(spoken) 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"
(spoken) 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
Half way 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 AND 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 AND ELPHABA
"And none of it seems to matter
Anymore"

GLINDA: Like a comet pulled from orbit
(ELPHABA: 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 in the wood)
Halfway through 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"

GLINDA AND ELPHABA
"Because I knew you
I have been changed...
For... good..."
