song from "Wicked" for my friends at MWO

[Guest]

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
There's blame to share

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 is true for all my friends here at MWO!!!

:h Gina, I LOVED Wicked and have made it be known to my friends that I want that song @ my funeral. It is awesome to see that you have posted it.

I also love the Defying Gravity Song where Elphaba learns to fly. For those that don't know it:

SOMETHING HAS CHANGED WITHIN ME
SOMETHING IS NOT THE SAME
I'M THROUGH WITH PLAYING BY THE RULES
OF SOMEONE ELSE'S GAME
TOO LATE FOR SECOND-GUESSING
TOO LATE TO GO BACK TO SLEEP
IT'S TIME TO TRUST MY INSTINCTS
CLOSE MY EYES AND LEAP

IT'S TIME TO TRY
DEFYING GRAVITY
I THINK I'LL TRY
AND YOU CAN'T PULL ME DOWN

I'M THROUGH ACCEPTING LIMITS 'CUZ SOMEONE SAYS THEY'RE SO
SOME THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE
BUT TILL I TRY, I'LL NEVER KNOW
TOO LONG I'VE BEEN AFRAID OF LOSING LOVE I GUESS I'VE LOST
WELL, IF THAT'S LOVE
IT COMES AS MUCH TOO HIGH A PRICE

SO IF YOU CARE TO FIND ME
LOOK TO THE WESTERN SKY
AS SOMEONE TOLD ME LATELY:
"EVERYONE DESERVES THE CHANCE TO FLY"
AND IF I'M FLYING SOLO
@ LEAST I AM FLYING FREE
TO THOSE WHO'D GROUND ME
TAKE A MESSAGE BACK FROM ME:
TELL THEM HOW I
AM DEFYING GRAVITY
AND SOON I'LL MATCH THEM IN RENOWN
AND NOBODY IN ALL OF OZ
NO WIZARD THAT THERE IS OR EVER WAY
IS EVER GOING TO BRING ME DOWN!


I cried @ that song when she learned to fly! Maybe we should all go see Wicked on stage when in New York?
It is by far, hands down, bar none, absolutely the bestest production I have ever seen.

love it! Never heard of "wicked" before... not a lot of culture out here in Curry County!

Yes, I guess Wicked should be explained-

It is the untold story about the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz, Elphaba, who really is not wicked after all, just different and misunderstood- written by

Gregory Macguire and turned into a musical which opened in New York in 2003.

Go to Sights & Sounds, then Sound Clips and you can hear some of FOR GOOD and also DEFYING GRAVITY. Make sure your speakers are on.

Gina, I was just starting to get over my obsession with Wicked- Now it is back in full force!

"Wicked"

Lucky,
I would LOVE to see "Wicked" in NY! I bought the book, but my boys wanted to read it first. I sure do love the music from it! I will check and see where/when it is playing that weekend.
