Why does this kanji use "sora" as its reading?


There's a song called 碧羅の天へ誘えど and it's read as "Hekira no Sora e Izanaedo".
Is "Sora" another reading for 天？ I don't see it listed on Jisho.org, and 天
seems to almost always use "Ten" as its reading.




The reading of そら is a nonstandard reading found almost exclusively in crative
writings such as lyrics and novel titles. It's in the same vein as
[this](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/198/5010). Using a nonstandard
reading is a common way to make the name sound more interesting in Japanese.

In person names, there are a few people named 天【そら】 (including [this
seiyu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sora_Amamiya)), but I think it tends to
be used as a little peculiar stage name.
