Over the Rainbow by Glee Cast, Music Lyrics and Video
Over the Rainbow is the last song from the “Journey” also known as “Journey to Regionals”, the twenty-second episode and first season finale of the American television series Glee. The episode was written and directed by series creator Brad Falchuk, and premiered on the Fox network on June 8, 2010.
The episode ends with Sue blackmailing Principal Figgins into giving New Directions one more year. She explains to Will that she may not like him, but she respects his work with the students. Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) tells the club of its extension, and performs “Over the Rainbow” with Puck in celebration.
The original song “Over the Rainbow” was written for the movie The Wizard of Oz in 1939, music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by E.Y. Harburg and was reinvented by Hawaiian musician Israel Kamakawiwo’ole in 1993, when he released the medley of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and “What a Wonderful World”.
Here you can listen “Over the Rainbow” Glee version.
Glee Cast - Over the Rainbow Lyrics
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
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can’t I?
Send "Over The Rainbow" Ringtone to your Cell

Cassidy: yeah but in glee they got it wrong. the proper one is heard of. it doesn’t make sense “dreamed of once in a lullaby” you hear lullabys. so hear makes nore scense.
Christine: that still makes it a cover of the wizard of oz version indirectly. and it was really just saying what the origions of the song are.
