I have been changed for good...
I've been getting all excited about graduation, but I must say... it's hitting me that I'll be leaving this place....
----
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 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.
And just to clear the air I ask forgiveness for the thing 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.
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better.
Because I knew you...
I have been changed for good.
Thanks to all of you who made a difference in my life, especially in these fast years at WMU...
