"Somewhere" lyrics

She's older now than her mother was at her wedding
But she's younger than she feels she's ever been
She said, "I've seen the hills they're much too tall for a twenty-something girl
And mama, womanhood's been hard to settle in"

But I'm on my way to somewhere, I swear
I'm on my way to somewhere, I swear
I'm on my way to somewhere with someone and someday
You'll see me and be proud of where I've been

He's older now than his father was when he moved out
He feels sheltered and ashamed of who he's been
He said, "I've seen the hills they're much too tall for a twenty-something boy
And father, manhood's just been hard to settle in"

But I'm on my way to somewhere, I swear
I'm on my way to somewhere, I swear
I'm on my way to somewhere with someone and someday
You'll see me and be proud of where I've been

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You'll see me and be proud of where I've been

On the first step of their journey they crossed paths then
Each saw themselves in the way the other stepped
She said, "I've seen your eyes, they look like mine, they're scared of what's ahead
But maybe you're the someone for that"

Let's run away to somewhere together
Let's run away to somewhere ahead
We'll conquer every hilltop and someday we'll slow up
To turn around and be proud of where we've been

We'll turn around and be proud of who we've been
