Over the Rainbow
Beyond the Rainbow: Unveiling Dreams and Hope
Lyrics
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
Expresses a distant, idealized place situated above in the sky, beyond immediate reach.
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Refers to a mythical or dreamlike land that exists, possibly symbolizing an unreachable paradise reminiscent of a soothing song.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
Describes a serene place beyond the rainbow where the skies are calm and blue, signifying peace and tranquility.
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Alludes to aspirations and ambitions that one may have.
Really do come true.
Asserts the belief that earnestly desired dreams can become a reality.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Expresses a future desire to make a wish upon a star, longing for a place without worries or difficulties.
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Desires to awaken in a place free from troubles, where the metaphorical clouds representing hardships are distant.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Visualizes troubles dissolving or disappearing effortlessly, akin to the sweetness of lemon drops.
High above the chimney tops,
Portrays an idyllic location high above urban structures, symbolizing an elevated, peaceful space.
That's where you'll find me.
