For Good from Wicked is featured in New York, the twenty-second and final episode of Season Two. It is sung by Kurt and Rachel.

After the song, Rachel says that she knows that she doesn't have to choose between love and Broadway, as theater will always be her great love.

It was originally performed in the musical Wicked on Broadway by the characters Elphaba and Glinda, portrayed by Idina and Kristin (who portray Shelby and April respectively). It is the second song from Wicked featured on Glee and both are sung by Kurt and Rachel. (the first being Defying Gravity in Wheels, the ninth episode of Season One).

The performance was filmed on the Wicked stage at the Gershwin Theatre in New York.

Lyrics

WinnerBadge

Rachel:
I'm limited
Just look at me
I'm 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

Kurt:
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?
Because I knew you
I have been changed for good

Rachel:
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 from 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 rewritten 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

Kurt:
Because I knew you

Kurt and Rachel:
I have been changed for good

Rachel:
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness for the things I've done you blame me for

Kurt:
But then I guess we know there's blame to share

Kurt and Rachel:
And none of it seems to matter anymore

Kurt (Rachel):
Like a comet pulled from orbit (Like a ship blown from its mooring)
As it passes a sun (By a wind off the sea)
Like a stream that meets a boulder (Like a seed dropped by a bird)
Halfway through the wood (In the wood)

Kurt and Rachel:
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better

Kurt:
And because I knew you

Rachel:
Because I knew you

Kurt and Rachel:
Because I knew you
I have been changed for good
