Somewhere
Charlotte Church/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
Somewhere
The lyrics to Charlotte Church/Josh Groban's song "Somewhere" express a longing for a place of peace, quiet, and open air, where the two lovers can be together and learn to care for each other. The song speaks to the universal desire for connectedness and finding one's place in the world, especially in the face of the uncertainties and challenges of life. The repeated use of the word "somewhere" reinforces the idea that the lovers are searching for an elusive, yet attainable, destination, and the promise of a new way of living and forgiveness emphasizes the transformative power of love and acceptance.
The song was originally written by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim for the 1957 musical "West Side Story," and the lyrics were adapted to create a standalone love song. The song has been covered by numerous artists, such as Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion, and has become a classic romantic ballad. Interestingly, the song has also been used in political campaigns, such as Barack Obama's presidential campaign in 2008.

I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your Grace
To a place where we'll be safe
La luce che tu dai
I pray we'll find your light
Nel cuore restera
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarci che
When stars go out each night
L'eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c'e
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe.
Sogniamo un mondo senza piu violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternita
La forza che ci dai
We ask that life be kind
E'il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amore
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a se
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child
Needs to find a place,
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salvera

This is an amazing duet! Awesome!
The Prayer / Az ima/
Imádkozom, hogy a szemünk légy.
És figyeld merre járunk!
És segíts bölcsnek lenni.
Ha valamit nem tudunk
Legyen ez a mi imádságunk
Amikor eltévedünk.
Vezess minket egy helyre
Vegyél a kegyeidbe
Adj nekünk hitet, hogy biztonságban legyünk
A fényesség te vagy
(Engedd, hogy rád találjunk)
A szívünkben maradsz
( És maradj szívünkben)
Emlékeztet minket
(Mikor a csillagok feljönnek)
Hogy örök csillag vagy
Az imáimban..
( Legyen ez az imánk)
Mennyi benne a hit
(Beárnyékolt napokon)
Vezess minket egy helyre!
(Vegyél a kegyeidbe!)
Adj hitet!
Így biztonságban leszünk!
Egy erőszakmentes világról álmodunk.
Az igazság és a remény világáról.
Mindenki nyújtsa a kezét a szomszédjának!
A béke alapja és útja a testvériség.
Adj erőt nekünk!
(Kegyes életet szeretnénk!)
Ez a kívánságunk.
( És tekincs le ránk!)
Mindenki szeret téged.
(Reméljük, minden lélek megtalál!)
A körben és magunkban.
(Egy másik lelket szeretni)
Legyen ez az imánk!
(Legyen ez az imánk!)
Mint minden gyermek
( Mint minden gyermek)
Találnunk kell egy helyet!
Vegyél a kegyeidbe!
Adj hitet, hogy biztonságban lehessünk.
És ez a hit
Ami bennünk van
Érzem, hogy meg fog menteni minket.
