Barbra Streisand; Josh Groban Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere
There's a time for us
Someday a time for us
Time together with time to spare
And time to care
Someday
Somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere
There's a place for us (a place for us)
Somewhere there's a place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Someday (someday)
Somewhere (somewhere)
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere
There's a place for us
A time and a place for us
Somewhere
Somewhere

Barbra's voice is a little lower in range now, but still the sound of Angels... Both of them sing with NO effort, surely a gift from God.
