For Good

Lyrics

Vertical Divider
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 the 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 rewritten 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
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

Like a comet pulled from orbit (like a ship blown from its mooring)
As it passes the 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)

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
