Somewhere Over the Rainbow: Lyrics

Part of the inspiration for the name of my blog comes from the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from the movie the Wizard of Oz. I very much enjoy that movie and wanted to share my joy with you! If you have seen this film you understand the magical feeling that Dorothy (main character) is filled with when entering the wonderful world of Oz. Although, from the beginning she wants to travel somewhere over the rainbow she soon realizes that the grass isn't always greener on the other side and she wants deeply to go back to Kansas where she began, and with a little help from Glinda, the good which of the north, Dorothy is brought home safely. Perhaps you feel like Dorothy, wanting so much to grow wings and travel over the rainbow; but don't forget, no matter where you are, you can always find adventure.

Below are the lyrics to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". Feel free to take a look.

When all the world is a hopeless jumble

And the raindrops tumble all around
Heaven opens a magic lane
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your window pane
To a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why oh why can't I?
