Please Let Me See The World
It's a miracle, a sweet mystery,
How an act of love has created me,
Let me leave this haven with dignity,
So that I can see the world.
   
         Let me hear the skylark greet the morn',
         Let me walk through fields of golden corn,   
         Say Yes to life and let me be born,      
         I just want to see the world.

Keep me here inside you safe and warm,
Don't heed those others who'd do me harm,
So that one day soon Ill be in your arms,And then I can see the world.
   
       Will I build Cathedrals tall and grand,
       Be a Surgeon skilled with healing hand,
       Or marry a farmer and love the land?
       Who knows if I see the world.

Will I see my mother's smiling face,
As she cradles me in a fond embrace?
Don't let me vanish without a trace,
I just want to see the world.

       I have ten small fingers and ten small toes,
       I have two blue eyes and a button nose,
       And how far I'll go God only knows,
       If I just can see the world.

Please let me see the world.
