Corner Of The Sky
Composer(s): Stephen Schwartz

Everything has its season 
Everything has its time
Show me a reason and I'll soon show you a rhyme
Cats fit on the window sill 
Children fit in the snow
Why do I feel I don't fit in anywhere I go?
Rivers belong where they can ramble
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 daydreams 
Every man has his goals
People like the way dreams have of sticking to the soul
Thunderclouds have their lightening 
Nightingales have their song
And don't you see I want my life to be something more than long?

So many men seem destined 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, but listen when I'm gone
And far away you'll hear me singing softly to the dawn
