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
(spoken) For both of us
(sung) Now it's up to you:
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
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
And none of it seems to matter anymore
Like a comet pulled Like a ship blown
From orbit as it Off it's mooring
Passes a sun, like By a wind off the
A stream that meets Sea, like a seed
A boulder, half-way Dropped by a
Through the wood 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.
This was a song played at a funeral of a Freshman at my school who died 2 years ago Tuesday September 16. She and her best friend were in a fight when she died. "And just to clear the airI ask forgivenessFor the things I've done you blame me for"I dont think you should ever leave someone mad at them, you never know when it might be the last time you see them

I ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY LOOOOOOVEEEEE WICKEDD!!!!! ok. Sigh. anyhoo this song seriously makes me all emotional and junk...its gorgeous
I totally understand how it feels losing a friend like that. One of my best friends died in a car accident the day after tenth grade. I remember her mom was so skeptical to let her go out with friends on graduation night, saying "I know that there will be a dead teen in Caldwell county by tomorrow morning" since it was graduation night for the seniors. Being in the tenth grade, my friend went to another friend's house, and was on her way to the waffle house the next morning when the car she was riding in crashed into a tree. I will never forget the call I got on Saturday afternoon, June 10, 2006. My best friend called me up, bawling. I couldn't understand a word she said except "gone, she's gone....." I was in the mall with my friend and completely broke down when I found out the news. The girl that had died and I had a fight the day before, and it's really difficult for me to forgive myself sometimes for that fact. Two years and a lot of coping, I've realized that my friend died knowing I do love her. As I am growing up now and turning into a young woman, I've learned to never take people (nor things) for granted. It's best to live everyday to the fullest, no one is guaranteed to live 80 years.
