There's a time for us,

Time to learn, time to care,

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!
