I really really need to say this
This is a set of lyrics from the wicked musical that i first heard way back in Jan this year. It struck a nerve with me with everything that was happening at that time. And in many ways, highly relevant to my life and to me. I've wanted to post this up for a really long time but never found the time to do it. so i though of doing it now...
As you know, i like to break into random verses of song. So what better way to thank everyone for you care and love than a song? and don't worry, i'm not drunk haha, just very randomly emotional tonight.
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
Now 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 what I have learned from you
You'll be with me, like a handprint on my heart
Now whatever way our stories may 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 skybird in a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better
But because I knew you, I have been changed for good
Because I knew you...
I have been changed for good
And just to clear the air I ask forgiveness for what you blame me for...
Well I guess there is blame to share...
And none of it seems to matter anymore
Yes, i have been changed for good, no matter what others may say, no matter what others may think.
I'm here because of you, and i am thankful.
We've all parted (physically) already, so there's not much to say on that account, except that...well, it is inevitable that everyone leaves at some point. it's just a question of where, when and why...
Click to viewI'm settled and i'm strangely in a zen like mood tonight. So yes, these are true, heartfelt, lucid and sober words from deep inside my mediastinum :P
