Yentl movie - A PIECE OF SKY lyrics

rate me

<br>

Tell me where<br>

Where is it written<br>

What is it I meant to be?<br>

That I can't dare...<br>

It all began the day I found..<br>

That from my window I could only see<br>

A piece of sky.<br>

I stepped outside and looked around.<br>

I never dreamed it was so wide<br>

Or even half as high.<br>

The time had come<br>

(Papa, can you hear me?)<br>

To try my wings<br>

(Papa, are you near me?)<br>

And even thought it seemed at any moment I could fall,<br>

I felt the most,<br>

(Papa, can you see me?)<br>

Amazing things,<br>

(Can you understand me?)<br>

The things you can't imagine<br>

if you've never flown at all.<br>

Though it's safer to stay on the ground,<br>

Sometimes where danger lies<br>

There the sweetest of pleasures are found.<br>

No matter where I go,<br>

There'll be memories that tug at my sleeve,<br>

But there will also be<br>

More to question, yet more to believe..<br>

Oh tell me where?<br>

Where is the someone who will turn and look at me?<br>

And want to share<br>

My ev'ry sweet-imagined possibility?<br>

The more I live - the more I learn.<br>

The more I learn - the more I realize<br>

The less I know.<br>

Each step I take -<br>

(Papa, I've a voice now!)Each page I turn -<br>

(Papa, I've a choice now!)Each mile I travel only means<br>

The more I have to go.<br>

What's wrong with wanting more?<br>

If you can fly - then soar!<br>

With all there is - why settle for<br>

just a piece of sky?<br>

Papa, I can hear you...<br>

Papa, I can see you...<br>

Papa, I can feel you...<br>

Papa, watch me fly!<br>

<br>
