"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is a classic Academy Award-winning ballad song by Judy Garland with music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by E.Y. Harburg for the movie, The Wizard of Oz in 1939. Since its initial release, the song has been covered by many musicians and one of them was Israel "IZ" Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole (May 20, 1959 - June 26, 1997), a Hawaiian musician playing with ukulele in his album, Facing Future released in 1993. Love his beautiful voice and his enthusiasm on his belief and hopes even-though he suffered from severe obesity throughout his life.
Being happy is a choice, you never want to rub anybody the wrong way or not be fun to be around, but to be happy. Find yourself somewhere there isn't any trouble, somewhere that you can't get to by a boat or a train, somewhere beyond the rain, over the rainbow and where the dreams that you dare to really do come true.
SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW
Israel "IZ" Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
Oh somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true
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 tops
That's where you'll find me
Oh somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dare to
Oh why, oh why can't I?
