Song: Happy

Song: Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Artists: Sandy Hook Children
Original Song from Wizard of Oz

Somewhere over the rainbow,
Way up high, 
There is a land that I heard of 
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow,
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to, 
Dreams really do come true

Someday I wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
So way above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Ooh ooh Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh Ooh

Somewhere over the rainbow,

Blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why, can't oh why, can't I?
If happy little blue birds
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why
Can't ...

Ooh ooh Ooh ooh
Ooh ohh Ooh ooh
Ooh ohh
