Corner Of The Sky - Live At Caesar's Palace/1974

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 Charlemagne's son who could never ever find happiness
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 soon 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 daydream, every man has hit goal
People like the way dreams have of sticking to the soul
Thunderclouds 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, yeah
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
