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?

As I sit on this playground
There are trees all around
Please listen carefully
This place is my diary

The tunnel keeps my secrets
While the swings throw my wishes to the stars
The slide lets me slip on by
The branches keep asking where you are

We used to sit there,and talk for hours
Now only the grass
The trees and the flowers
Keep me company

This place knows me
Better than I do
And it remembers
All the times
I spent with you

That bench is lonely
And so am I
Missing you only
But remember what happens
When the sun runs from the sky

As I sit on this playground
There are trees all around
Please listen carefully
This place is my diary

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the
difference.
