When all the world is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around
Heaven'll open some magic lane

When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your window pane

To a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that a 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 wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
And troubles melt like lemon drops
Away, above the chimney tops, and that's where you'll find me
Somewhere over, over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, then, oh, why can't I?

If all those little bluebirds fly
About the rainbow, why?
Oh, why can't I?
