I'm different... so Ialways bend the meaning of prose or a song to fit my needs. It really helps when no change in the words are necessary. The following lyrics were written by Stephen Sondheim. They were brilliantly set to music by the great Leonard Bernstein in 1956.
------------------------
There's a place for us,
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 together with time to spare,
Time to learn, time to care,
Some day!
Somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere . . .
There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there.
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow,
Some day,
Somewhere!
