Remember the original movie (1939),
“The Wizard of Oz” when Judy Garland sang:
Somewhere over the rainbow,
way up high
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
Away above the chimney tops
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?
