Bluebirds fly

The Challenge at Inspiration Avenue this week is "Over the Rainbow".

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
across the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?
