love is all you need
somewhere over the rainbow
Given the wings to fly

Go find yourself a Judy Garland rainbow,
Shut your eyes and see it, oh, so clear.
It draws you like a beacon, and it guides you like a star, so far from here.
Keep searching for that Judy Garland Rainbow,
People say you’re foolish and naïve.
You walk that road of yellow bricks with confidence because you do believe.
And it’s magic, yes, it’s magic, and oh, so pretty.
You’re reaching, yes, you’re reaching that Emerald City.
And when you find that Judy Garland rainbow,
Help somebody else to make it through,
The Scarecrow and Tin Woodman know the secret, and I know they’ll share it too.
("Somewhere Over the Rainbow" Music by Harold Arlen, lyrics by E. Y. Harburg)
