Over the Rainbow
Discovering Hope and Dreams Beyond the Rainbow
Lyrics
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
When difficulties or challenges arise in life
There's a rainbow highway to be found
There is a path to happiness and better times
Leading from your window pane
Leading from the observer's place of reflection (window)
To a place behind the sun
To a place that represents beauty and positivity
Just a step beyond the rain
Just a small step beyond the difficulties or sorrows
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
Imagining a place far above in the sky
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby
A mythical land mentioned in a soothing song
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
Envisioning a place where the sky is clear and problems are absent
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
Believing that the dreams one dares to dream can come true
Someday, I'll wish upon a star
Expressing a hope for a better future
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Desiring to escape from challenges and obstacles
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Imagining a place where problems dissolve easily
Away, above the chimney tops
A peaceful place high above the mundane concerns of life
That's where you'll find me
Describing the desired location for the speaker
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Reiterating the idea of a positive place where bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Highlighting the freedom of birds flying over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
Questioning why the speaker can't reach that joyful place
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
If happy little bluebirds can reach beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?
Expressing the desire to understand why the speaker can't achieve similar happiness
