For Good

John and I saw Wicked when they came to Utah about eight months ago. I LOVED IT!!! and after John waiting ten hours in line for tickets, we knew it was totally worth the wait. I started listening to the sound track when John gave me the tickets for Christmas last year and absolutely fell in love with the music. I am one that really likes to pay attention to the words of a song because that gives it so much more meaning. There is a song on the sound track called "For Good" and it makes me cry everytime I hear it. John's grandma recently passed away in January and it makes us think of her everytime we hear it. If there is ever a loved one that has passed away in your life you'll love this song because it talks about how because you knew them you have been changed for the better. Here are the Lyrics...

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 help them in return

well I don't know if I believe thats true
But I know who I am today is because I knew you

Like a comet pulled from orbit
as it passes the sun
like a stream that meets a boulder
halfway through the wood
who can say if i've been changed for the better?
because I knew you,
I have been changed for good

It may will be that we will never meet again
In this life time
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

there is more...just listen to it :)
