That’s the song on my blog for now. Heard this song on Glee then went for Wicked and found this song to be super meaningful. It’s such a powerful song (in BH’s words) .. haha.. I believed that we both teared when we heard this song.. well.. it’s very touching…
Can you rem a time when u felt so alone and needed a friend? Then by chance this friend came along and befriended you? Suddenly, as years gone by… you lost touch with this friend… BUT when you see or hear ‘something’, you will automatically just think of her/him? In my opinion, this song just describes the whole process

ELPHABA
I’m limited
Just look at me, I’m limited and look at you, you can do all I couldn’t do, Glinda
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
Now 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
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 what I have learned from you
You’ll be with me, like a handprint on my heart
Now whatever way our stories may 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
GLINDA
Because I knew you…
BOTH
I have been changed for good
ELPHABA
And just to clear the air I ask forgiveness for what you blame me for…
GLINDA
Well I guess there is blame to share…
BOTH
And none of it seems to matter anymore
GLINDA (same time as Elphaba)
Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes the sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood
ELPHABA (same time as Glinda)
Like a ship blown off its mooring by a wind off the sea
like a seed dropped by a skybird in the wood
BOTH
Who’s to say if I’ve been changed for the better?
GLINDA
Because I knew you
ELPHABA
Because I knew you
BOTH
I have been changed for good
