Somewhere
Hayley Westenra 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
Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere
There's a place for us
A time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow, someday, somewhere
Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere
There's a place for us
A time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow, someday, somewhere
Hayley Westenra's song Somewhere is a beautiful and captivating love song. The lyrics are about two people who dream of finding a special place where they can be together, a place where they can find peace and tranquillity. The song expresses hope, optimism and the belief that someday they will find this special place where they can live a new, better life.
The first verse of the song presents an idyllic dream of a place where the couple can live together, with peace and quiet, open air and a sense of space. The next verse expresses the hope that someday this dream will become a reality, that they will have the time to be together and to care for each other, that they will have the time to learn and grow as a couple. The chorus repeats the idea that somewhere, someday, they will find this special place, and that they will discover a new and better way of living and forgiving.
The song is a beautiful expression of the desire for love, understanding and companionship. It speaks to the deepest aspirations of the human spirit, of the longing for a place where we can be at peace with ourselves and with each other. It is a song of hope and optimism that inspires us to believe that someday, somehow, we can find that special place where we can live a better life.
