[Verse]
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 my windowpane
To a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Somewhere, over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
[Outro]
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?
