Somewhere (ballet) Lyrics

Somewhere (ballet) lyrics

TONY:

And - and

And I'll take you away, take you far, far away out
of here,

Far, far away till the walls and the streets disappear.



TONY and MARIA:

Somewhere there must be a place we can feel
we're free,

Somewhere there's got to be some place for you and for me.

(As he sings, the walls of the apartment begin to move off, 

leaving
city walls surrounding them. The two lovers begin to 

run, battering
against the walls of the city, breaking through 

as chaotic figures of
the violent gangs flail around them. 

But they do break through and
suddenly they are in a world of 

space and air and sun. They stop,
looking at if, pleased, 

startled as boys and girls from both sides come
on.)



SCHERZO

(They begin to dance, to play: no sides, no
hostility now; 

just joy and pleasure and warmth. As Tony and Maria begin


the steps of a gentle love dance, a voice is heard singing.)
