John Phillips - There Is A Place

Copied!

There is a place between two stars
Somewhere in space that's yours, it's ours
We'll watch the worlds roll by
And never even think of dying
There is a place in space that's ours

There is no room for me here
No room to raise a family here
Not enough to eat
The wind doesn't smell sweet anymore
There is a place in space that's ours

People everywhere are inclined to stare
I feel a need for privacy, dear
Feel like it's a dream I'm caught
In the big machine
I'd like a star of my own
There is a place in space that's ours

The meaning of the song

edit description

"There Is A Place" by John Phillips is a dreamy and introspective song that explores the idea of finding a space of one's own in the vast universe. The lyrics speak of a place between two stars that belongs to the singer and their loved ones, where they can watch the worlds go by without fear of death. However, the song also touches on themes of alienation and a longing for privacy, as the singer laments the lack of room to raise a family and the loss of the sweet smell of the wind. Despite the challenges faced in the world, the singer yearns for a star of their own where they can escape the pressures of society. With its ethereal melody and poignant lyrics, "There Is A Place" is a contemplative journey through the cosmos in search of solace and belonging.
