For Good

Original Broadway Recording
by Idina Menzel (Elphaba) & Kristin Chenoweth (Glinda)

(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
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

(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.

Called to Be

by Jonathan Nelson feat. PURPOSE

In the journey of life
there are winding roads
Mountains high and valleys low
Though the road ahead may be unknown
I'm still focus on the prize that's worth pressing for

(Chorus)
I will be what you've called me to be
I say Yes, Lord I agree
My desire, passionately
Is to be what you've called me to be
That's what I'll be

All road signs read destiny
I'll follow wherever you lead
Nothing can hinder me
For the prize is all I see
All I see

(Chorus)

I say Yes, Yes, I agree

這首歌是我第一次去Brooklyn Tabernacle (a.k.a. 疾風烈火教會)詩班獻詩的歌
當下就非常感動
第二個星期他們又再獻了一次這首
兩次聽都是邊聽邊唱邊流淚
歌詞寫得很直接,但很真實
也很符合我現在的處境
在一個未來未知的情況中
讓這首歌成為我的禱告
感謝上帝
