I have been missing my friends but after a good visit with my long time best friends after not seeing them for a while... I feel closer than ever. This song from the musical Wicked [which I do not own] is dedicated to them.
GLINDA
I've heard it said That people come into our lives for a reason Bringing something we must learnAnd 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 beThat 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 knowThere's blame to share
BOTH
And none of it seems to matter anymore
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.
