For Good sing and play along

I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason,

so 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,

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,

but 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...

Because I knew you...

I have been changed for good.

It well may 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 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?

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.
