Corner Of The Sky
Diana Ross · Other Songs - Diana Ross
Everything has its time
Show me a reason
And I'll soon show you a rhyme
Cats sit on the window sill
Children sit in the show
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
Gotta find my corner, ooh, of the sky
Every man has his daydream
Every man has his goal
People like the way dreams have of
Sticking to the soul
Thunder clouds have their lightning
Nightingales have their song
And don't you see I want my life
To be something more than long, yeah
Rivers belong where they can ramble, oh, yeah, yeah
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Gotta find my corner, ooh, of the sky, of the sky
So many men seem destined
To settle for something small
But I, I won't rest
Until I know, I have it all
So don't ask where I'm going
But listen when I'm gone
Far away you'll hear me singing
Softly to the dawn
Oh, rivers belong where they can ramble
Oh, eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free, yeah
Gotta find my corner, ooh, of the sky, yeah
Rivers belong where they can ramble
Oh, eagles belong where they can fly
(Fly high)
Oh, I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Gotta find my corner
Gotta find my corner, yes I do
Gotta find my corner
Gotta find my corner of the sky, sky
(I've got to be where my spirit can run free)
Gotta find my corner of the sky, sky
(I've got to be where my spirit can run free)
Gotta find my corner of the sky, sky
