I'm limited...Just look at me: I'm limited...And just look at you, you can do all I couldn't doGlinda, so now it's up to youFor both of us, now it's up to you
I've heard it said that people come into our livesFor a reason, bringing something we must learnAnd we are led to those who help us most to growIf we let them, and we help them in returnWell, I don't know if I believe that's trueBut I know I'm who I am today because I knew you
Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sunLike a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the woodWho 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 againIn this lifetime, so let me say before we partSo much of me is made of what I learned from youYou'll be with me like a handprint on my heartAnd now whatever way our stories endI know you have re-written mine by being my friend
Like a ship blown from its mooring by a wind off the seaLike a seed dropped by a skybird in a distant woodWho 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
And just to clear the air, I ask forgivenessFor the things I've done you blame me forBut then, I guess we know there's blame to shareAnd none of it seems to matter anymore
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
And because I knew you...Because I knew you...Because I knew you, I have been changed for good
