what they sang last night

I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason; bringing something we must learn.
And we are lead to those that 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 re-written mine by being my friend

Like a ship pulled from it's mooring by a wind of 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 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 any more

Like a comet pulled from orbit
Like a ship pulled from it's mooring

As it passes the sun
By a wind of the sea

Like a stream that meets a boulder
Like a seed dropped by a bird

Halfway through the wood
In a 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.
