Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby ii ii iii
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee ee eeh
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops thats where you'll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,why, oh why can't I? i iiii
Well I see trees of green and
Red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, I...I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more
Than we'll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world (w)oohoorld
Someday I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me
Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I? I hiii ?

Inspiration v. Motivation
This past year, I suffered from a head injury, from which I was unable to speak clearly for a few weeks. I had expressive aphasia. I was amazed by the calming power of this song and video.
I believe much of the soothing effect was from the father-like sound of the lullaby-sound of the song.
It's simple and sweet, and the pictures reminded me how uncomplicated life CAN be, if I allow myself to see it in it's natural state.
When I need to go to a "happy place", and all I have is my laptop... this video is a good place to visit for a few minutes, and <breathe>.
every girl
needs a safe daddy-figure who will take good loving care of her and not hurt her. this song represents that safety.
