Over the Rainbow

I'm an absolute sucker for old movies. I mean, who doesn't love "It's a Wonderful Life" or "The Wizard of Oz"?

I think we all dream of some place that might be better. Some place that might offer more, whatever that more may be. Yesterday, I had a few friends find that rainbow for me. It wasn't quite as far away as you'd imagine.

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?


For now, I'll keep wishing on a star, so you know where to find me.
