A Piece Of Sky

Tell me where Where is it written What it is I'm 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 to 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 --- A Piece of Sky - Barbra Streisand
