Because I knew you...

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...

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 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
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

Like a comet pulled from orbit
as it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
halfway through the wood
Like a ship blown from its mooring
by a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a bird in 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...
