For Good

I've heard it said,

That people come into our lives,

For a reason

Bringing something we must learn

And we are lead 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 (still me)

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 hand print on my heart

And now whatever way our stories end,

I know you have rewritten mine,

By being my friend

Like a ship blown from it's mooring,

By a wind off the sea

Like a sea dropped by a sky bird,

Half way 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

And just to clear the air,

I ask forgiveness,

For the things I've done,

You blamed 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 (Like a ship blown from it's mooring)

As it passes a sun (By a wind off the sea)

Like a stream that meets a boulder (Like a sea dropped by bird,)

Halfway through the wood (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
