1 Somewhere beyond the dark shadows of time,
Somewhere the Savior has gone;
There we are told is a city of godl,
Built for His very own.

Refrain:
Somewhere, O wonderful place,
Somewhere thru marvelous grace;
Somewhere we'll look on His face,
Yonder in God's somewhere.

2 Somewhere our hearts will be broken no more,
Somewhere the cross we'll lay down;
Joy it will be there for you and for me,
Just to receive the crown. [Refrain]

3 Somewhere the flowers transplanted from earth,
Sweeter and sweeter will grow;
Lost for awhile, love will brighten each smile
Yonder somewhere we know. [Refrain]
