Part of a World

From the heart of a girl who hasn't got everything, even if it doesn't look so. A girl who hasn't got everything.

Yet.



Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?

Look at this trove,
Treasures untold,
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here you'd think
Sure, she's got everything

I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
I've got woozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs? I've got twenty!

But who cares?
No big deal,
I want more...

I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see
Wanna see 'em dancing
Walking around on those
What do you call 'em? oh, feet!

Flipping your fins you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumping, dancing
Strolling along down the
What's that word again? street

Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wandering free
Wish I could be
Part of that world

What would I give
If I could live
Out of these waters?
What would I pay
To spend a day
Warm on the sand?
Bet'cha on land
They understand
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters

Bright young women
Sick of swimming
Ready to stand!

And ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
What's a fire and why does it
What's the word? burn
When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love
Love to explore the shore up above...

...Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world.

Florzinha, estava sentindo sua falta.... ainda bem que voltou aqui.
E sabia que conhecia essa música de algum lugar... lindo.
