(Stephen Swartz)



If any of you have been in New York recently you'll know that "Pippin" is one of the biggest broadway show throughout today. "Pippin" is the story of Emperor Charlemaine's son who could never ever find hapiness. He tried everything. He tried war, he tried religion. And he even tried a little sex. But it didn't work. Too bad for him! The song I'd like to do for you know is from "Pippin". And it's about his search for fulfillment to find his corner of the sky.



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 a season

Everything has its time

Show me a reason

And I'll show you a rhyme

Cat's been on the window sill

Children fit in snow

Why do I feel I don't fit in

Any place 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



Every man has his day dream

Every man has hit goal

People like the way dreams

Have of sticking to the soul

Thunder clouds have their lightning

Nightingales have their soul

Can'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 are destined

To settle for something small

Don't you know that I won't rest

Until you know I had 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



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

Gotta find my corner

Gotta find my corner of the sky

Sky
