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-- 
For both of us.
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 sky bird
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:                                                 Elphaba:
Like a comet pulled from orbit                Like a ship blown from its mooring
As it passes a sun.                                By a wind off the sea.
Like a stream that meets a boulder         Like a seed dropped by a bird
Halfway through the wood.                     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.
