Somewhere out There Songtext

von Larry Norman

Well, I hope that somewhere out there, is a woman for you
And I hope that also waiting is a baby or two
Because the best thing in life are kids and the wife
I never wanted to be no star
I'm afraid that God is still the only reason that I picked up my guitar

Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh

When you're awake I try to show you all the love I can give
So you'll have strength for the fight cause as you get older, life gets harder to live
I love you more than anything else on earth, I think about you all the time
And every night I'm praying that the second birth will be the first thing on your mind

Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh

Love might be blind
And life is very often so unkind
But when you're tryin' to live the best you can, man,
You sometimes don't know right from wrong, black from white
When I'm tryin' to love you the best that I can,
I sometimes can't make it through this life

Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh

I just hope that when you are older you will understand
Why your life isn't turnin' out exactly the way it was planned
Everything is changin' on this crazy planet, sometimes I don't know what I can do
But I'm working hard for our future so be good to your mother,
You make your father happy too

Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh

When you came into my life, these last 3 years, I felt a new kind of pain
It really breaks my heart when east tour starts and you're wavin' goodbye to the plane
I'd like to stay at home for the rest of my life, it's been everyday playin' with you
But that is not the reason I was put on earth, I gotta make my Father happy too

Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh

Love might be blind
And life is very often so unkind
But when I'm tryin' to live the best I can
I sometimes don't know right from wrong, black from white
But when I'm tryin' to love you the best I can,
Sometimes I don't get it right

Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, oooohh

Well, I hope that when you're out there
You'll find a woman
And I hope you see a life worth livin' on that road stretchin' ahead
Cause the best things in life is God, and your wife and kids
And I hope the only reason you get up in the morning is to really live
I hope that when you're out there, it's all waiting for you
And I hope that when you get there, you know what to do
If you go down, get back up, you know I love you so much
And I hope that when you're out there, you can make it through

Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
La, la, la, la, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
You know I'm prayin' for you, yeah,
When you fall down and get back up, oh, oh, ohh
