Wicked - For Good (duet with Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth) lyrics

rate me

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 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 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 anymore!

Glinda: Elphaba:

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 the 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.
