[English]

There’s a place for us

Somewhere, a place for us

Peace, quiet, and open air

Awaits us somewhere

There’s a time for us

Someday, a time for us

Time together, moments to share

Time to learn, time to care

Someday, somewhere

We’ll find a new way to live

We’ll find a path to forgive

Somewhere

There’s a place for us

A time and place for us

Take my hand—we’re halfway there

Take my hand, I’ll lead you there

Somehow, someday

Somewhere

Somewhere

There’s a place for us

A time and place for us

Peace, quiet, and open air

Take my hand, I’ll lead you there

Somehow, someday

Somewhere

I feel beautiful, oh so beautiful

I feel beautiful, oh so beautiful

I feel beautiful
