Somewhere
Lea Michele and Idina Menzel 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,
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" is originally from the musical "West Side Story" written by Leonard Bernstein in 1957. It was sung by the character Tony, played by Larry Kert, expressing his love for Maria. The song has been covered by numerous artists, including Lea Michele and Idina Menzel in the TV series "Glee". The song talks about hope for a better future and finding a place where there is peace, love, and forgiveness. The opening lines of the song, "There's a place for us, Somewhere a place for us", set the theme of the song, which is finding a place of belonging where one can be accepted and loved.
The first two verses of the song express a longing for a place where there is peace, quiet, and open air. It talks about a time in the future when there will be enough time to learn and care. The chorus of the song talks about how the characters will find a new way of living and forgiving somewhere. The final lines of the song urge the listener to hold hands and have hope, that even though they may not know the when or the where, they will find their way to a better tomorrow.

There's a place for us,
There exists some unexplored location where we could belong to
Somewhere a place for us
At an unspecified site, there is an ideal place we are yet to find
Peace and quiet and open air
A location with stillness, lack of disturbance and freedom to breathe
Wait for us
Stay a little longer until we discover this heaven on earth
There's a time for us,
A particular moment exists for us
Some day a time for us,
There lies ahead in time an opportune moment waiting for us
Time together with time to spare,
The moment will give us the chance to spend quality time together and also have some extra time
Time to learn, time to care,
It will allow us to acquire knowledge and grow together with compassionate hearts
Someday!
This long-awaited day is destined to come someday soon
We'll find a new way of living,
We will discover and embrace a unique better way of living
Oh we'll find a way of forgiving
We will also learn to let go of past hurts and forgive one another
Somewhere
At some point, we will locate this dream land
Somewhere
We will still find it at an indefinite location
There's a place for us,
Unarguably, there exist at some point the perfect setting for us
The time a place for us
The awaited moment and site that are exclusive to us
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Almost immediately, we begin the journey when we hold hands
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
The case may be that I am more familiar with the location, rest assured I'll make sure to bring you along
Somehow,
Through some means or the other
Someday,
At an appointed day, no matter how far it seems
Somewhere!
In that location where our desires are fulfilled

It would be better if they would record live. Hate the lip syncing. They both can sing?
