Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Kylie Minogue Lyrics

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There must be a magical place where everything is better.

There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
I've been told that such a place exists and has been written in music.

Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
In this place, the sky is always blue, clear, beautiful and bright.

And the dreams that you dare to dream,
One can dream seemingly impossible things.

Really do come true.
And they really can come true there.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
I have a dream and I will follow it passionately and hopefully.

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
When the dream comes true, it’s like waking up to a new reality, leaving behind past disappointments and setbacks.

Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
In that special place, every challenge is easier and happier, like melting lemon drops.

High above the chimney tops,
This place is above the stress and troubles of everyday life, like chimney tops that are below.

That's where you'll find me.
That's where I'll be once my dreams come true.

Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
I imagine the freedom that blue birds feel in this place.

Birds fly over the rainbow
They just fly over it, without any barriers or obstacles.

Why then, oh why can't I?
Why can't I break free and live my dreams too?

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
If these birds are naturally happy and joyful while living their truth and purpose, maybe we humans can learn from them.

Why, oh why can't I?
Why can't I also pursue my deepest desires and be happy?

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
Once again, I imagine a perfect place that gives me hope.

There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Even though it seems like a fantasy, I will hold on to the belief that it's real.

Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
I’ll keep imagining, hoping and dreaming, knowing that one day it will come true, and that blue skies are waiting for me there.

And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Once again emphasizing that one should not be afraid to dream and pursue the impossible.

Really do come true.
And that they will turn into reality.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
A hopeful expression of determination.

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Looking forward to the realization of the dream and the freedom it brings.

Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Challenges and obstacles won't have the same impact.

High above the chimney tops,
Experiencing a higher level of happiness and fulfillment that is far from the usual daily struggles.

That's where you'll find me.
In this better place, happy and free, living my true dreams.

Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Repeating the imagery of freedom and happiness.

Birds fly over the rainbow
Humans can learn and aspire to that same freedom.

Why then, oh why can't I?
A call to action and to keep pursuing our deepest desires.

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Repeating the earlier idea and finding motivation from examples of birds.

Why, oh why can't I?
Asking again why we can't also strive to find our own happiness and fulfill our deepest dreams.
