herself anylonger, Yentl decides to end

her masquerade.)
|
|
Look at how she looks at me,
|
I can never look at her that way...
|
Full of all the feelings and the soft
|
Unspoken words that lovers say...
|
In all the words, in all the books
|
I wish there were a way to say that
|
What she's taught me
|
Isn't written anywhere
|
And I'm supposed to be the one
|
Who's wise...
|
One thing is certain,
|
I can never be what she
|
Expects of me...
|
|
I've wanted the shadows,
|
I don't anymore.
|
No matter what happens,
|
I won't anymore
|
I've run from the sunlight-
|
Afraid it saw too much.
|
The moon had the one light
|
I bathed in-
|
I walked in.
|
I held in my feelings
|
And closed every door.
|
No matter what happen.
|
I can't anymore.
|
There's someone who must hear
|
The words I've never spoken.
|
Tonight if he were here
|
My silence would be broken.
|
I need him to touch me-
|
To know the love that's in my heart-
|
The same heart that tells me
|
To see myself-
|
To free myself-
|
To be myself at last!
|
For too many mornings
|
The curtains were drawn.
|
It's time they were opened
|
To welcome the dawn.
|
A voice deep inside
|
Is getting stronger,
|
I can't keep it quiet any longer.
|
No matter what happens,
|
It can't be the same anymore...
|
I promise it won't be the same
|
Anymore!
