For Good

Yo! What a funny week its been. De ja vu! Met up with Freyah in old London Town. We went to see the new Musical "Wicked" based on the Wizard of Oz. The Story reveals that the Wicked Witch of the West is misunderstood (and I'm not talking about Frau!) and the story revolv es around the incredible friendship between Glinda the good fairy and Elphaba, the misunderstood Witch.

Thought I would share one of the songs with you all. It struck a chord with me. Enjoy!

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 youI have been changed for good
ELPHABA
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetimeSo let me say before we part
So much of meIs made of what I learned from you
You'll be with meLike 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 seaLike 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:
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
Like a ship blown
From orbit as it Off it's mooring
Passes a sun, like By a wind off the
A stream that meets Sea, like a seed
A boulder, half-way Dropped by a Through the wood Bird 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
love Dave
