Mat and Savanna Shaw - For Good

I've heard it said some 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 the 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 rewritten mine by being my friend
Like a ship blown from its mooring by a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a sky bird 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 from orbit (like a ship blown from its mooring)
As it passes the sun (by a wind off the sea)
Like a stream that meets a boulder (like a seed dropped by a bird)
Halfway through the wood (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
