Papa, Can You Hear Me / A Piece Of Sky
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 Papa, can you hear me? Papa, can you see me? Papa, can you find me In the night? Papa, are you near me? SongtextePapa, 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 Can you hear me praying? Anything I'm saying? Even though the night is Filled with voices? I remember everything you taught me Every 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 The night feels 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 good night I felt the most amazing things 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 Mortal question, yet mortal belief Oh, tell me where Where is this 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 realise 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! Aus Songtexte Mania
