Lyrics---For Good

跟大家分享我很喜歡的音樂劇---The Wicked中倒數第二首歌For good的歌詞，雖然它主要是在敘述兩個好友的友誼，但是有幾句歌詞可以套用在我們認識的所有人身上，也可以對身旁的人說(工商時間:我有買2003年Original Cast 版的CD，兩位女主角的聲音很讚喔)。

For Good

(Elphaba)
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)
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
ButI 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 thing 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)

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood

(Elphaba)
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood

(Both)
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.

我也想把這首歌的歌詞當作聖誕禮物送給我所有的好朋友，希望妳們會喜歡她，同時也希望妳們聽到這首歌時會跟我有同樣的感覺。




PS.好啦!我知道我在偷懶，但現在光是新工作和申請就佔據了我所有神經元的activity，我實在生不出我們的友誼之詩(明年可能也不會有....)
