SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high There s a land that I ve 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, High above the chimney tops, That s where you ll find me. Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds 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?

They looked up and saw a star Shining in the East beyond them far And to the earth it gave great light And so it continued both day and night. Then entered in those Wise men three Full reverently upon their knee
