Lyrics / Paroles

Michael
Everything has its season
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

Jermaine
Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly

Marlon
I’ve got to be where my spirit can run free

Michael
Gotta find my corner of the sky

Jackson 5
Every man has his daydreams
Every man has his goal
People like the way dreams have of sticking to the soul

Jermaine
Thunder comes after lightning

Jackie
Nightingales have their song

Michael
And don’t you see I want my life
To be something more than none

Jermaine
Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly

Marlon
I’ve got to be where my spirit can run free

Michael
Gotta find my corner of the sky

Jackson 5
Of the sky

So many men seem desperate
’Cause they got something small

Jackie
But I, I won’t rest
Until I know I have it all

Marlon
So don’t ask where I’m goin’
But listen when I’m gone

Jackson 5
Always you’ll hear me singin’

Jackie
Softly to the dawn

Jermaine
Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly

Marlon
I’ve got to be where my spirit can run free

Michael
Gotta find my corner of the sky

Jermaine
Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
(Fly, oh)
I’ve got to be where my spirit can run free
(Gotta find)

Michael
Gotta find my corner
(Gotta find)

Tito
Gotta find my corner, yes, I do
(Gotta find)
