where is it written?
Singer:barbra streisand
i'm wrapped in a robe of light
that spreads its wings over my soul
there's not a morning i begin without
a thousand questions running through my mind
that i don't try to find the reason and the logic
in the world that god designed
if not to fly and praise the sky
within the scheme of things
and why have eyes that see
unless you're meant to know
if not to hunger for the meaning of it all
then tell me what a soul is for?
unless you're meant to fly?
where is it written what it is
to have the chance to pick the fruit of every tree
or have my share of every sweet-imagined possibility?
if i were only meant to tend the nest
then why does my imagination sail
across the mountains and the seas
beyond the make-believe of any fairy tale?
why have the thirst if not to drink the wine?
and what a waste to have a taste
of things that can't be mine?
where is it written what it is
to find the meanings in the mornings that i see
or have my share of every sweet-imagined possibility?
just tell me where - where is it written?
or if it's written anywhere?
