Rainbow
Edmond Dantes feat. Oz 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?
The song "Rainbow" by Edmond Dantes feat. Oz is a cover of the classic song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from the movie "The Wizard of Oz". The lyrics speak of a magical land that exists beyond the rainbow, where dreams come true and troubles disappear. The song talks about the hope and the desire to escape from one's current situation and find a happy place, where things are better.
In the first stanza, the lyrics talk about the magical land that exists beyond the rainbow, and the dreams that can come true. The second stanza speaks of the hope that the singer has for a better future, where they can escape from their troubles and find happiness. The third stanza repeats the first stanza but substitutes 'blue birds' for 'skies,' and emphasizes on the idea that even the blue birds fly beyond the rainbow, so why can't the singer?
