Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow (rainbow)
Skies are blue (skies are blue)
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
Nothing pierces the heart like the loss of hope
You can see it in a mother's eyes
Hear the pleas where the innocent die
Another day the church bell rings
Another town hears the screams
These words shall live on
I have a dream
And if you've believe the rainbow
Then why can't I?
Somewhere over the rainbow (over the rainbow)
Blue birds fly (they fly)
Oh, oh, oh, birds fly over the rainbow
Why can't I, why can't I
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind
The clouds are far behind
Behind me, yeah
