"For Good"

A song comes to mind right now... it says it all.

"For Good" by Wicked.

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 

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 skybird in a distant wood.
Who can say if I've been changed for the better? 
But because I knew you I have been changed for good 

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.

Who can say if I've been changed for the better? 
I do believe I have been changed for the better. 

Because I knew you... I have been changed for good..
