Lyrics
Verse 1
Somewhere the sun is shining, somewhere the songbirds dwell; hush then, thy sad repining,
God lives, and all is well.
Verse 2
Somewhere the day is longer, somewhere the task is done; somewhere the heart is stronger, somewhere the crown is won.
Verse 3
Somewhere the load is lifted, close by an open gate; somewhere the clouds are rifted, somewhere the angels wait.
Chorus
Somewhere, beautiful, beautiful isle, beautiful isle of somewhere!
Land of the true, where we live anew, beautiful isle of somewhere!
