"For Good" Lyrics

4.5 / 5
Song updated, review now!
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 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!

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.

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.
