For good

[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 lead 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´ll 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 blamed 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 a sun.
(By a wind off the sea)
Like a stream that meets a boulder
(Like a seed dropped by 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.
I´m limited.
Just look at me.
I´m limited.
And just look at you.
You can do all I couldn´t do.
