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 (spoken) For both of us (sung) 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 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 know There's blame to share
Both: And none of it seems to matter anymore
Glinda and Elphaba: Like a comet pulled Like a ship blown From orbit as it Off it's mooring Passes a sun, like By a wind off the A stream that meets Sea, like a seed A boulder, half-way Dropped by a 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.
