Rainbow
Emily West & K.S. Rhoads Lyrics

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There is a place beyond what we can see or touch.

There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
A tranquil world where stress and worries are unknown.

Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
The sky is the limit to the possibilities of our dreams.

And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Your hopes and aspirations, that may seem unattainable at first.

Really do come true.
They can become a reality with enough effort and perseverance.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
There may be times when hope seems lost.

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
But we should keep faith that good times lie ahead.

Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
In that place, our worries would seem insignificant like melting sugar.

High above the chimney tops,
It's a place that exists beyond the boundaries of our mundane lives.

That's where you'll find me.
In that peaceful world, where wishes come true.

Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Even nature can guide us towards a better world.

Birds fly over the rainbow
They show us that there is more to life than what we see on the ground.

Why then, oh why can't I?
It is human nature to wonder about life beyond our reach.

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
If it's possible for even small creatures such as birds to achieve the impossible.

Why, oh why can't I?
Why can't we strive to pursue our own happiness beyond our limitations?

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There is always hope for a brighter future.

There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
A place that soothes our soul and makes our dreams come true.

Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
A place where everything seems possible, even the impossible.

And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Don't be afraid to dream big and follow your heart.

Really do come true.
They can only come true, if you believe in them and work hard.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
A way to express our deepest desires and dreams.

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
A place of freedom and tranquility.

Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
A place where difficulties are no longer an issue.

High above the chimney tops,
A world of infinite potential and possibilities.

That's where you'll find me.
A place where one can find peace, happiness and true fulfillment.

Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Concurrent with our dreams, nature will always carry us forward.

Birds fly over the rainbow
Even birds need a place to find peace and tranquility.

Why then, oh why can't I?
The eternal question, why can't we have nice things?

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
If they don't let their size, or the impossibilities, stop them from dreaming.

Why, oh why can't I?
Why should I be different, and why can't I achieve my own dreams?
