Who Am I

Petula Clark

The buildings reach up to the sky

The traffic thunders on the busy streets

Pavement slips beneath my feet

I walk alone and wonder "Who am I?"



I close my eyes and I can fly

And I escape from all this worldly strife

Restricted by routine of life

But still I can't discover "Who am I?"



I long to wake up in the morning and find everything has changed

And all the people that I meet don't wear a frown

But every day is just the same, I'm chasing rainbows in the rain

All the dreams that I believe in let me down



Maybe I'm reaching far too high

For I have something else entirely free

The love of someone close to me

Unfettered by the world that hurries by



To question such good fortune, who am I?
