Papa, Can You Hear Me / A Piece Of Sky Songtext

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?

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



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!
