Barbra Streisand - Where Is It Written? Lyrics
PrayerGod, our merciful father,Im wrapped in a robe of lightClothed in your gloryThat spreads its wings over my soul.May I be worthy.Amen.Theres not a morning I begin withoutA thousand questions running through my mind,That I dont try to find the reasonAnd the logic in the world that God designed.The reason whyA bird was given wings,If not to flyAnd praise the skyWith evry song it sings.Whats right or wrong.Where I belongWithin the scheme of things.And why have eyes that see and arms that reachUnless youre meant to know theres something more?If not to hunger for the meaning of it all.Then tell me what a soul is for?Why have the wings unless youre meant to fly?And tell me please, why have a mindIf not to questino why?And tell me where-Where is it written what it is Im meant to be,That I cant dareTo have the chance to pick the fruit of evry tree,Or have my shareOf evry sweet-imagined possibility?Just tell me where, tell me where?If I were only meant to tend the nest,Then why does my imagination sailAcross the mountains and the seas,Beyond the make-believe of evry fairy tale?Why have the thirst if not to drink the wine?And what a wasteTo have a tasteOf things that cant be mine?And tell me where-Where is it written what it is Im meant to be,That I cant dare-To find the meanings in the mornings that I see,Or have my share-Of evry sweet-imagined possibility?Just tell me where-Where is it written?Tell me where-Or if its written anywhere?
