Over the Rainbow
Discover the Enchanting Journey Beyond the Rainbow with Amanda Holden
Lyrics
When all the world is a hopeless jumble
Expresses a chaotic and disheartening world.
And the raindrops tumble all around
Describes a time when rain is falling everywhere.
Heaven opens a magic lane
Introduces the idea that a magical escape is possible.
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
Refers to a moment when the sky is covered with dark clouds.
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Suggests the existence of a path to happiness, like a rainbow.
Leading from my windowpane
Indicates a view from the singer's window to this magical place.
To a place behind the sun
Implies a destination located beyond normal comprehension.
Just a step beyond the rain
Describes this magical place as just a step beyond difficulties.
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
Refers to an imaginary location high above the rainbow.
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Mentions a land known from a lullaby, suggesting a dreamlike realm.
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
Asserts that over the rainbow, the skies are serene and blue.
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
Encourages pursuing daring dreams, promising they can come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Expresses a desire to make a wish on a star.
And wake up where the clouds are far
Wishing to wake up where troubles are distant.
Behind me
Emphasizes leaving problems behind.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Envisions troubles disappearing like lemon drops.
Away above the chimney tops
Describes a location high above the city.
That's where you'll find me
Declares this as the place where the singer desires to be found.
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Reiterates the idea of bluebirds flying over the rainbow.
Birds fly over the rainbow
Highlights the motion of birds over the rainbow.
Why then, oh, why can't I?
Ponders why the singer cannot join the birds in this joyful flight.
If happy little bluebirds fly
If little bluebirds can be happy beyond the rainbow.
Beyond the rainbow
Repeats the desire to understand why the singer cannot experience the same.
Why, oh, why can't I?
Reiterates the yearning to be where happiness exists.
