[edit] Lyrics

Note: There were two versions of the "Where You Belong" theme of the network. One released in 1992 and another in 1996 when the network officially changed its corporate name to GMA Network, Inc.

[edit] 1992 Version

It's a place that you come home to
It's where everything's just fine
A secret shared together
To pass away the time
Moments that you treasure, a smile that you can't hide
The promise of tomorrow, just building up inside
It's where you belong, GMA
It's the place where you belong
It's where you belong, GMA's where you belong
Good friends, old and new
Friends you know are always true
It's where you belong, GMA
It's where you, you, you, it's where you belong.

[edit] 1996 Version

It's a good feeling to know where you belong
It's a good, good feeling, to know where your friends are
Sights and sounds to warm our hearts
To change those blues away
It's all right here, it's GMA
It's a smile across your day
It's where you belong (GMA)
It's a place where you belong
It's where you belong
It's a place where you belong
If your after comedy, or adventure's what you really need
The shows are great, the stars so bright
Catch a feeling every night
It's where you belong (Yes it is)
It's a place where you belong (GMA)
It's where you, you, you, it's where you belong.
