Everything has its time
Show me a reason and I’ll soon show you a rhyme
Cats fit on the windowsill
Children fit in the snow
Why do I feel I don’t fit in anywhere I go?
Eagles belong where they can fly
I’ve got to be where my spirit can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky
Every man has his goal
People like the way dreams have
Of sticking to the soul
Thunderclouds have their lightning
Nightingales have their song
And don’t you see I want my life to be
Something more than long…
Eagles belong where they can fly
I’ve got to be where my spirit can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky
To settle for something small
But I won’t rest until I know I’ll have it all
So don’t ask where I’m going
Just listen when I’m gone
And far away you’ll hear me singing
Softly to the dawn:
Eagles belong where they can fly
I’ve got to be where my spirit can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky
lyrics of Corner of the Sky, from his musical ‘Pippin’
