(Not wanting to confuse Hadass or

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!
