Over the Rainbow
Chasing Dreams Beyond the Rainbow: A Melodic Journey of Hope
Lyrics
Somewhere over the rainbow
Desire for an elusive, ideal place
Way up high
In a lofty, elevated location
There's a land that I heard of once
Reference to a distant, rumored land
Once in a lullaby
Once experienced in a soothing song
Somewhere over the rainbow
Reiteration of longing for that place
Skies are blue
Implies hopefulness and positivity
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Encouragement to pursue ambitious dreams
Really do come true
Belief in the realization of dreams
Some day I'll wish upon a star
Future aspiration tied to wishing on a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Desire to escape problems and find peace
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Imagery of troubles vanishing like magic
Away above the chimney tops
Freedom and serenity above city chaos
That's where you'll find me
Identification of the sought-after location
Some day I'll wish upon a star
Repetition emphasizing the wish for escape
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Desire for a worry-free existence
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Reiteration of troubles disappearing
Away above the chimney tops
Escape from urban stressors
That's where you'll find me
Reaffirmation of desired location
Somewhere over the rainbow
Continued reference to the distant place
Bluebirds fly
Sense of freedom and flight
Birds fly over the rainbow
Observation of birds traversing the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I
Questioning the inability to reach that place
If happy little bluebirds fly
Implies contentment if birds reach that realm
Beyond the rainbow
Yearning to surpass limitations and reach
Why, oh, why can't I
Reiteration of the frustration of unattainability
