Someone Like You
Sarah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And reaching will it not be soft and kind
At rest from life, from patience and from pain
At rest from bliss, we know not when we find
How can I have enough of life and love

In your eyes are my secrets that I've never shown you
In my heart I feel I've always known you
In your arms there's a comfort that I never knew
You're what I've been waiting for, there's no one like you

Sure as the sunrise, pure as a prayer
You fashioned hope right out of thin air
Every dream I abandoned, seems it could come true
I believe in miracles, there's no one like you

Innocent as a newborn in a world so frightening
It's as if my world's been struck by lightning




Every dream I abandoned, seems it could come true
I believe in miracles, there's no one like you

The last 2 minutes of this was the most spine chilling, powerful vocals I've ever heard. This brought a tear to my eye and I rarely cry, this girl has to be world famous and share her gift with everyone

@onlyLOVEremains7

Adele needs to see this woman sing!

@Barrowsgirl1934

As a singer I can say that it is not often that I come across a voice that literally gives me chills every single time I hear it....Sarah does that to me. She leaves the audience mesmerized.....entranced and holds them in the palm of her hand. Incredible.

@christophermoore8122

She's amazing, but her blind audition was just perfect. I cried listening to her the first time, but now I just wanna stomp my feet at the fact that she didn't win The Voice. MSG...

@MBMVmusic

WOW!!! BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL! LORD HAVE MERCY! THAT WAS PHENOMENAL! IT IS BEYOND ME WHY YOU DIDN'T WIN THE VOICE!!! YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE WINNER!
