Wicked- For Good (lyrics)

Original Broadway Cast: Idina Menzel as Elphaba, Kristin Chenoweth as Glinda: For Good

Elphaba:

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 its 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 dont 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 from what i learned from you

You'll be with me

like a hand print on my heart

Now whatever way our stories end

I know you have rewritten mine

by being my friend

Like a ship blown from it's 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 any more

Glinda:

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)

Halfway through the wood

(in a 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
