Over the Rainbow
by the cast of Glee
Somewhere over the rainbow
way up high
there’s a place
that I thought of
once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
seas are blue
and the things
that you dare to dream
really do come true
Someday I’ll wish upon the moon
and wake up
where the rain is far behind me
Where problems melt like lemon drops
high above the chimney tops
that’s where you’ll see me
Somewhere over the rainbow
red birds fl y
butterfl ies fl y over the rainbow
why then, oh why
can’t I?
