For Good
Wicked Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Glinda
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
Elphaba
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...
Glinda
Because I knew you...
Both
I have been changed for good
Elphaba
And just to clear the air, I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for
Glinda
But then, I guess we know there's blame to share
Both
And none of it seems to matter anymore
Glinda & Elphaba
Oh, like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes the sun
(Like a ship blown from its mooring by a wind off the sea)
Like a stream the 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
Glinda
And because I knew you...
Elphaba
Because I knew you...
Both
Because I knew you, I have been changed for good
The song "For Good" in the musical Wicked is a poignant expression of the transformative power of friendship. Elphaba, the misunderstood and ostracized green-skinned witch, expresses her limitations and regrets to the beloved Glinda, who helped her grow and find self-confidence. The two reflect on the impact they have had on each other's lives, acknowledging that they have both grown and been changed for the better through the power of their friendship.
Glinda suggests that people come into our lives for a reason and that they can help us grow and learn if we let them. While Elphaba initially expresses skepticism, she eventually acknowledges the truth in Glinda's words and thanks her for being such a powerful influence in her life. Both women sing about how they have been changed for the good because of their friendship, using metaphors of a comet pulled from orbit by a passing sun, a stream meeting a boulder halfway through the woods, a ship blown from its mooring by a sea wind, and a seed dropped by a sky bird in a distant wood.
The song concludes with a beautiful harmonization of their voices, emphasizing their shared understanding that because they knew each other, they have been transformed in ways that cannot be quantified or expressed. The song stands as a testament to the power of human connection and the transformative potential of true friendship.
