Lyrics by：Stephen Schwartz

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 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 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 sea

Like 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

Because I knew you

I have been changed for good

The years go by so fast the flames keep burning

But we know someday it could be gone

It's nice to know then as the torch gets passed

You will keep it blazing brightly on

Like a comet pulled from orbit

Like a ship blown from its mooring

As it passes a sun

By a wind off the sea

Like a stream that meets a boulder

Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood

Halfway through 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

Because I knew you

Because I knew you

I have been changed

For good
