BARBRA STREISAND - A Piece Of Sky (with lyrics)

LYRICS:
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 though 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 mem'ries 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 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!

That last note always gets me....I start to well up when she sings "Why just a piece of sky" and lost it at "watch me fly"... T_T

[LuvMadonna626]

this song makes me cry and this is one of my favorite movies

[danpurefitness]

wow....



[tintoalcala]

I just wonder how the camera went from close-up then pan to a distance during the last high note. Was it shot in a chopper?

[hbotis]

A legend--what would we do without her!  God bless Bab!

[TheSimon1688]

This song totally changed my life. Because of this song in 1984, I turned myself from a dreamer to a doer. Not only I pursued my dreams, but I also moved to USA to find God. For past 14 years being here, luckily so many times I could reach God while in sleep, and I have enjoyed my life in NJ. I hope this year, those melodies and memories in my heart can be forged into good songs.I really like Barbra and the writer of "A piece of Sky " know that they have saved and changed several people's life

This song is extraordinary. Barbra should be very proud of this, as well as the Bergman's and Mr. Legrand. Outstanding.

admirable cantante.

[HonestyTheKey]

WHERE IS IT WRITTEN followed by A PIECE OF SKY. A journey into the soul. Our lives are so full of questions and possibilities. These songs are a true reflection of our inner doubts and desires, yet put so perfectly by the end we all feel a sense of wonder, hope and optimism. Dream, live, embrace the future and embrace future questions with the knowledge we can learn to Broaden our own Worldly Horizons. God Bless you Barbra for the journey YOU take us on.
