When all the world is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around
Heaven opens a magic lane
And when all the clouds darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your windowpane
To a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain...

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullabye

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
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

Someday I'll wake and rub my eyes
And in that land beyond the skies you'll find me
I'll be a laughing daffodil
And leave the silly cares that fill my mind behind me
