Lyrics

[Intro]

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

[Verse 1]

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

[PreChorus]

Well, I don't know if I believe 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?

Because I knew you

I have been changed

For good

[Verse 2]

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

[PreChorus]

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 skybird

In a distant wood

Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But

Because I knew you

Because I knew you

I have been changed for good

[Bridge]

And just to clear the air

I ask forgiveness

For the things I've done you blame me for

But then, I guess we know there's blame to share

And none of it seems to matter anymore

[Chorus]

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 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

And because I knew you

Because I knew you

Because I knew you

I have been changed

For good
