Because of you

I’m limited:
Just look at me – I’m limited
And just look at you -
You can do all I couldn’t do,
So now it’s up to you
For both of us
Now it’s up to you:
 
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 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                      Like a ship blown
From orbit as it                           Off it’s mooring
Passes a sun,                              By a wind off the sea,
A stream that meets,                   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.
