Over The Rainbow
Cosmic Gate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
High 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?
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.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
High 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?

Birds fly over the rainbow
And they can be seen traversing this magical vision.

If birds can experience this wonderland, why not me?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
If currently blissful birds can fly above the limited and predictable present…
Why, oh why can't I?
... then I also desire to take flight and experience this utopia.

Somewhere out there you are
So close but yet so far
My heart intertwined with yours
What remains is our choice
She loves me, she loves me not
Take a chance, give it what i got.
Who knows we could grow old together
Late walks in the park, romance after dark
I’ll never give up on you
I’ll never give up on you
I’ll never give up on you
I’ll never give up on you
Over the rainbow
That’s where I’ll go to find you
‘Cuz you are my gold and one thing
I know is that I need you, yeah
Over the rainbow
That’s where I’ll go to find you
‘Cuz you are my gold and one thing
I know is that I need you, yeah.........
