Somewhere 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?

There’s a place that someone once spoke of in a sweet, gentle song.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
In this elusive place, the skies are always clear and blue.

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.

I was stationed in Germany from '95 - '99. I swear I heard this on New years eve of 97 (might have been 98). We lived in a little town on the Mosel river (Briedel). We rented from the Bergermiester and he allowed the youth club to have a dance in the backyard. Great 60s music started the evening but by 11pm, the rave was on. It was years before I heard it again. I'm guessing the version I heard was from Cosmic Gate. My kids still remember this song. Great memories!
mayday
Joel Kalsi yeah, i think marusha version
