I just came across these words from a song titled 'For Good' from the Musical titled 'WICKED'.
Love the words (lyrics), love the song... but I haven't seen the musical accept for some snippets on YouTube... but what I saw looks good.
"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."

For Good ~ Indina Menzel & Kristin Chenoweth ~ from the musical 'Wicked' ~ Lyrics
Singers:
Indina Menzel as Elphaba
Kristin Chenoweth as Glinda
Elphaba:
Im limited
Just look at me - Im 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 things I've done you blame me for
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...
