Corner Of The Sky Lyrics

Everything has it's season
Everything has it's 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?

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...
...Of the sky...

Everyman has his daydreams
Everyman has his goals
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?

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...
...Of the sky...

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
Just listen when I'm gone
And faraway you'll hear me singing
Softly into the dawn...

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...
...Of the sky...

Everything has it's season
Everything has it's 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?

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...
...Of the sky...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this songs makes the Statement, that yes there are lots of places for people to fit in, albeit rigit and conforming and places for people who want to just go through life nice and easy and not achieve any thing great , and that there will always be places for these people, however 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. In this verse which is constantly repeated throughout the Song, it makes the Statement, That Eagles belong where they can fly and soar and achieve great things, That Rivers belong where they can Ramble, , meaning they can go not in a defined or constructed path, they can go where ever they want and the message in this Song is, that yes, you can create your own path, your own place in the world but it is up to you to find that path, that spot and you can be free whilst doing it. . What a great song,
