Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere
There's a time for us,
Some day a time for us,
Time to learn, time to care,
Someday!
Somewhere
We'll find a new way of living,
Oh we'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere
Somewhere
There's a place for us,
The time a place for us
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow,
Someday,
Somewhere!
The song "Somewhere" from the musical West Side Story is a hopeful and romantic ballad sung by the characters Maria and Tony. The lyrics speak of a place and time where the two can be together without fear or judgment. The opening line, "There's a place for us, Somewhere a place for us" sets the tone for the entire song, as it expresses a longing for a better life, a life where they can be happy and free. The repetition of the word "somewhere" gives the impression that this place is elusive and hard to find, but the hope that it exists is what keeps the characters going.
Throughout the song, the lyrics describe a peaceful and loving world that seems to be just out of reach. The lines "Peace and quiet and open air, Wait for us, Somewhere" imply that the characters are living in a world that is oppressive and unforgiving, and they're longing for a place where they can be themselves. The second verse builds on this theme, emphasizing the importance of time and the opportunity to learn and care for each other. The characters believe that someday they will be able to find this place and live the life they have always dreamed of.
Overall, "Somewhere" is a beautifully written song that captures the essence of hope and longing. The lyrics express the universal desire to find a place where one can truly be themselves and find love and acceptance. It's a song about believing in the possibility of a better life, even in the face of adversity.
