IDINA MENZEL LYRICS - For Good

"For Good"

(feat. Kristin Chenoweth)



[ELPHABA:]

I'm limited.

Just look at me.

I'm limited.

And just look at you.

You can do all I never could.

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 maybe,

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 it's mooring,

By a wind off the sea.

Like a sea 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 it's mooring,)

As it passes a sun.

(By a wind off the sea.)

Like a stream that meets a boulder,

(Like a sea 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.
