I didn’t want to do the cliche thing that everyone else is doing and post a blog about Michael Jackson….but I can’t help it!

I was listening to his music a lot since he died (of course, as everyone is) and the song Corner of the Sky came on by the Jackson 5. It’s one of my favorite Jackson 5 songs. The lyrics of the song really stood out to me. I feel like if Michael were alive, he would probably say that the words to that song are totally the way he feels. It’s so sad that he died, and that he had to live in his own personal hell inside his brain, and that he never got help.

Here are the lryics to Corner of the Sky…and all I can say is that I hope that now, Michael has finally found his corner.

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
