Papa, can you hear me? / Barbara Streisand


God - our heavenly Father.

Oh, God - and my father

Who is also in heaven.

May the light

Of this flickering candle

Illuminate the night the way

Your spirit illuminates my soul.



Papa, can you hear me?

Papa, can you see me?

Papa, can you find me in the night?



Papa, are you near me?

Papa, can you hear me?

Papa, can you help me not be frightened?



Looking at the skies

I seem to see a million eyes

Which ones are yours?

Where are you now that yesterday

Has waved goodbye

And closed its doors?

The night is so much darker.

The wind is so much colder



The world I see is so much bigger now that I'm alone.



Papa, please forgive me.

Try to understand me.

Papa, don't you know I had no choice?



Can you hear me praying,

Anything I'm saying,

Even though the night is filled with voices?



I remember ev'rything you taught me

Ev'ry book I've ever read.

Can all the words in all the books

Help me to face what lies ahead?

The trees are so much taller

And I feel so much smaller.

The moon is twice as lonely

And the stars are half as bright.



Papa, how I love you.

Papa, how I need you.

Papa, how I miss you

Kissing me goodnight.

  

A Piece of Sky / Barbara 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 ev'ry 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!
