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 â¦
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...
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 stream that meets a
Boulder/ half-way
Through the wood
Like a ship blown off its
Mooring/by a wind off the
Sea/ 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.
