For Good ist ein Song aus der zweiundzwanzigsten Folge der zweiten Staffel, New York!, und wird von Kurt und Rachel gesungen. Die beiden singen den Song auf der Original "Wicked"-Bühne in New York, nachdem sie in das Theater "eingebrochen" sind und vom Wachpersonal erwischt wurden, der ihnen aber erlaubt, einen Song auf der Bühne zu performen. Sie singen den Song auch, damit Rachel eine Entscheidung bezüglich Broadway oder Liebe treffen kann. Hinterher weiß sie, dass sie nicht wählen muss, da das Theater immer ihre große Liebe sein wird.
Das Original stammt aus dem Musical Wicked aus dem Jahr 2003.

Lyrics[]
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
Beide:
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
Beide:
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)
Beide:
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..
Beide:
Because I knew you,
I have been changed for good
