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!
