For Good (Wicked)

Lux Women's Chorus performs For Good (Wicked) by Stephen Schwartz (b. 1948), arr. Mac Huff. Leland Spindler, conductor Support our mission at   / luxchoralsociety   Lyrics: 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 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 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, I have been changed for good.
