Richard Adam 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
Somewhere 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
Somewhere a place for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to learn, time to care
Someday
Somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow
Someday
Somewhere
The lyrics to Richard & Adam's song Somewhere speak to the hope of finding a peaceful and accepting place in the world. The repetition of the phrase "somewhere, a place for us" gives a sense of searching and longing for a better existence. The idea of peace and quiet and open air evokes an image of a natural and serene environment, free from the chaos of modern life. The repeated phrase "time together with time to spare, time to learn, time to care" emphasizes the desire for connection and growth, both personally and as a community.
The chorus of the song, "someday, somewhere, we'll find a new way of living, we'll find a way of forgiving, somewhere," suggests that the search for this better existence is ongoing and perhaps difficult, but ultimately worth striving for. The repetition of "somewhere" throughout the song also underscores the idea that the destination is unknown and undefined, but the hope for a better future remains strong.
