“Somewhere over the rainbow,
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.”

— Yip Harburg

Context: 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.

'"Over the Rainbow" in The Wizard of Oz (1939).
Context: Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
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?

“I, I've got no fear of flyin' high
'Cause high above the rainbow, my sun's gonna shine
And nothing can happen as long as you're mine
So I'll make my landing alive”
