Listen to this. Please?

I know I don't exactly have an unbiased opinion, seeing as how my love for Glee isn't exactly a secret, but seriously, please listen to this song. Everything about it is gorgeous. It's from the Broadway musical Wicked, but Glee is the reason I first heard the song.  I didn't obsess over it at first, really, but for some reason, I now play it over and over and over.  I added the lyrics at the bottom. Enjoy.



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 have 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 from 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 rewritten 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 have been changed for the better
But 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 ship blown from its mooring by a wind off the sea)
Like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood
(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.

  1. This is so funny that you post this tonight because Emily and I were just drinking fruit smoothies and taking turns choosing youtube videos, and I picked this one and we watched it like 5 times! And then you posted it! What perfect timing! :)
