A Piece Of Sky - Barbra Streisand
Tell me where
Where is it written
What is it I meant to be?
That I can't dare...
It all began
The day I found...
That from my window
I could only see
A piece of sky
I stepped outside
And looked around
I never dreamed it was so wide
Or even half as high
The time had come
(Papa, can you hear me?)
To try my wings
(Papa, are you near me?)
And even thought it seemed
At any moment I could fall
I felt the most
(Papa, can you see me?)
Amazing things
(Can you understand me?)
The things you can't imagine
If you've never flown at all
Though it's safer
To stay on the ground
Sometimes where danger lies
There the sweetest of pleasures
Are found
No matter where I go
There'll be memories
That tug at my sleeve
But there will also be
More to question
Yet more to believe...
Oh tell me where?
Where is the someone
Who will turn and look at me?
And want to share
My every sweet imagined possibility?
The more I live
The more I learn
The more I learn
The more I realize
The less I know
Each step I take
(Papa, I've a voice now!)
Each page I turn
(Papa, I've a choice now!)
Each mile I travel only means
The more I have to go
What's wrong with wanting more?
If you can fly then soar!
With all there is
Why settle for
Just a piece of sky?
Papa, I can hear you...
Papa, I can see you...
Papa, I can feel you...
Papa, watch me
Fly!
