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 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

Someday 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, bluebirds 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?
