When all the world is a hopeless jumble,
And the raindrops tumble all around,
Heaven'll open some 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 a 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 wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
And troubles melt like lemon drops,
Away, above the chimney tops, and that's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over, over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why, then, oh, why can't I?
If all those little bluebirds fly,
About the rainbow, why?
Oh, why can't I?
