| Corner of the Sky
‘Corner of the Sky’ was written by the well-known composer Stephen Schwartz. Stephen Schwartz was born in New York City on March 6, 1948. He studied piano and composition while in high school at the Julliard School of Music. In 1968, he graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a B.F.A. in Drama. In 1971, he wrote the music and new lyrics for Godspell, which he later won several awards for, including two Grammy’s.
In 1972, Schwartz finished composing the music and lyrics for Pippin. Pippin is a musical about a boy named Prince Pippin who is trying to find personal significance. Pippin sings ‘Corner of the Sky’ in search for his meaning in life.
Stephen Schwartz said, “This song was written on a car trip from Washington, DC to New York. It replaced a song for Pippin I had been struggling with futilely for weeks. Starting with the line ‘Why do I feel I don’t fit in anywhere I go?’ I asked my wife, Carole, who was driving while I scribbled, ‘What are some things that fit?’ ‘Well,’ she replied, ‘cats fit on the windowsill,’ and the rest sort of flowed from there.” The song ‘Corner of the Sky’ is an inspirational, uplifting song. Stephen Schwartz is a songwriter extraordinaire, and ‘Corner of the Sky’ is only one of his extraordinary songs.
Corner of the Sky
By: 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 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
Got to find my corner of the sky
Every man has his daydreams
Every man has his goal
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
Got to 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 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
Got to find my corner of the sky

| Why is life always taken for granted?
You always want something more than what is put in front of your face.
YOu hate your life because you think someone elses is better.
You are angry with yourself because that guy wont look your way.
You cry because your feelings are hurt, and your heart is shattered.
Think about how long you have to live,
whats coming your way,
life is not a favor given to you so you can relax and prop
up your feet. you have to work for life. you have
to stop hiding yourself from the world because of what
they might think.
think about yourself. your happiness.
life is not a favor. so dont accept it as one. accept it as your
chance. here is your chance.
your chance to follow your dreams. hold them close so they dont
get away. your dream, your passion, may seem impossible
to reach.you may think, its over
your world has come to an end
but you dont see the light that awaits you up ahead
just hang on to your dreams they'll lead u somewhere, someday
just belive anythings possible
and then you'll see. if you believe that
life is not a favor. its your chance. your one shot.
make it what you can. make it what you want.
life is not a favor.
its your passion. |
