[Intro]
[Verse 1]
(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 beleive that s true,
But I know I m who I am today
Because I knew you...
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse 2]
(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...
[Chorus]
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.
