Those "For Good" People

I want to see the Broadway play Wicked so bad! Probably because I have heard and LOVE the music. One song in particular really stands out to me. It is called For Good and some of the lyrics and the song from youtube are posted below. As I look over my life, I see many, many, many of those people (a lot of them are still right by my side :) ) So I am going to pay tribute to them in my next few blog posts if possible! :) Thanks for being so great to you all! :)



For Good -Wicked
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

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
I have been changed for good

And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share
And none of it seems to matter anymore

Who can say if I've been
Changed for the better?
I do believe I have been
Changed for the better

And because I knew you...
Because I knew you...
Because I knew you...
I have been changed for good...

I agree, the music in 'Wicked' is AWESOME! We tried really hard to get tickets for when it is here in April, but it didn't happen. It is just to popular :)
