[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.
