RAINBOW
Rod Jane and Freddy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a land that I 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
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds 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?

Line by Line Meaning
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There is a place in the sky, very very far away from here
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
I learned of this place in a song that someone sang to me when I was a baby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
In that place, the sky is always blue and clear
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
If you have a dream and you are brave enough to pursue it, it will become a reality
Someday I'll wish upon a star
One day I will look to the sky and make a wish to a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
When I do, I will be in a place where there are no more clouds, just open sky
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
In this place, all my worries will disappear as easily as lemon drops dissolve in my mouth
Away above the chimney tops
High up in the air, above the houses and buildings with chimneys
That's where you'll find me
That's where I will be, in that magical place above the rainbow
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
In that place where the rainbow ends, there are bluebirds flying
Birds fly over the rainbow
Birds fly all over the world, including over the rainbow
Why, then, oh, why can't I?
Why can't I also go to that place where the birds and the rainbow are?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Since even the birds are happy in that place
Beyond the rainbow
In that place over the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?
Why can't I go there and be happy too?
