Graduation Song Possibility?
As the choir is currently looking for graduation songs to be sung, this song came to mind. The song is very nice and has a good melody and backround track. If anyone wants to listen to it, let me know. I e-mailed Stephen Schwartz's assistant for this sheet music and am going to propose it to Mr. Day when I get the music. What are everyones thoughts. Remember while your reading the lyrics that although yes it repeats itself, so do all songs. It is sung originally as a duet but I think it is worth a shot. Let's try something new.
Song: For Good
Music and Lyrics: Stephen Schwartz
Voice 1:
"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 KOW I'M WHO I AM TODAY
BECAUSE I KNEW YOU...
LIKE A COMET PULLED FORM 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...
Voice 2:
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...
Voice 1:
BECAUSE I KNEW YOU...
Both
I HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOR GOOD...
Voice 2:
AND JUST TO CLEAR THE AIR
I ASK FORGIVENESS
FOR THE THINGS I'VE DONE YOU BLAME ME FOR
Voice 1:
BUT THEN, I GUESS WE KNOW
THERE'S BLAME TO SHARE
Both:
AND NONE OF IT SEEMS TO MATTER ANYMORE
**** | = SIMULTANEOUSLY ****
|Voice 1:
