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
Half way through the wood.
Who can say if I've changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed For Good
---- excerpt from the Broadway musical, Wicked, by Stephen Schwartz.
