From the Musical Wicked, but also a small reference from the book (: I wanted the background to show have much they've influenced each other. I really loved this song when I graduated from high school, saying goodbye to my classmates I've been with since I was 6. So whenever I hear this song, I will always be reminded of my graduated classmates XD
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
because i knew you
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 //like a ship blown off its mooring
orbit/as it passes a sun //by a wind off the sea
like a stream that meets a boulder //like a seed dropped by a
half-way through the wood //bird 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.
I haven't actually seen this musical live, but I love the songs, and I know the plot. The song "Defying Gravity" has become my motivational anthem; it's just so inspirational. Whenever I need to get my spirits up, I sing it to myself. My dream is to see this musical.
Love this picture so much. It's very sweet. The song "For Good" always makes me feel sad, especially when I think about all that Elphaba has been through.
"I'm limited. Just look at me. I'm limited." Gets me every time.
