Barbra Streisand
A Piece Of Sky (Demo)
The last song of the film is called "A Piece of Sky"
Yentl once again is a woman, perhaps for the first time
She stands on a boat full of immigrants heading for a new land
The sky is gray and overcast
And as the rain begins to fall, the crowd moves inside for cover, but Yentl remains and sings this song
By the way, the final song is still a work in progress, it's not, it's not quite finished
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 stеpped outside and looked around
I nеver 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 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, each page I turn 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
