There's a Place for Us (Carrie Underwood)

Caught the latest Narnia movie "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" at the cinema yesterday and it was enchanting ... as well as heart-convicting and moving at bits. I loved Repicheep the mouse - which Wikipedia describes as "a large, talking mouse who carries a rapier, and wears a red plume tucked in his golden circlet. He is an experienced warrior, utterly fearless, and faultlessly courteous, particularly to noble ladies. He is also pugnacious and quick to defend any affront to his honor". Heheh. Aslan the Lion is of course noble, majestic and kindly, as usual.

But what was a nice surprise was the song which was played as the credits rolled. J and I wondered who the singer is ... only to discover it is Carrie Underwood. The lyrics are below. Someone said it could only be describing heaven. Somehow, I think so too ... what a lovely piece!

There's A Place For Us

There’s a place out there for us,
More than just a prayer or anything we ever dreamed of.
So if you feel like giving up cause you don’t fit in down here,
Fear is crashing in, close your eyes and take my hand.

We can be the kings and queens of anything if we believe.
It’s written in the stars that shine above,
A world where you and I belong, where faith and love will keep us strong,
Exactly who we are is just enough
Yes there’s a place for us, there’s a place for us.

Where the water meets the sky,
Where your heart is free and hope comes back to life,
Where these broken hands are whole again,
We will find what we’ve been waiting for,
We were made for so much more

We can be the kings and queens of anything if we believe.
It’s written in the stars that shine above,
A world where you and I belong, where faith and love will keep us strong,
Exactly who we are is just enough,
Yes there’s a place for us, now there’s a place for us
So hold on, now hold on,
There’s a place for us
We can be the kings and queens of anything if we believe.
It’s written in the stars that shine above,
A world where you and I belong, where faith and love will keep us strong,
Exactly who we are is just enough, exactly who we are is just enough,
There’s a place for us.
