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: Like a comet pulled from orbit As it passes a sun Like a stream that meets a boulder Halfway through the wood Elphaba: Like a ship blown from its mooring By a wind off the sea Like a seed dropped by a bird 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.
