Somewhere
Idina Menzel & Lea Michele Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a place for us,
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 together with time to spare,
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!
