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 |
|
Glinda |
|
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 |
|
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 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... |
|
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 anymore... |
|
Glinda & Elphaba |
|
Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes the sun |
|
(Like a ship blown from its mooring by a wind off the sea) |
|
Like a stream the meets a boulder halfway through the wood |
|
(Like a seed dropped by a bird 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 |
