Best Answer

It was written for the movie "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" because they needed a song for 'Dorothy' to sing in the barnyard before she journeys to Oz. Its meaning is that since she lives in Kansas and there wasn't many flowers, the only thing of real color she had only seen in her life was a rainbow. *It was in the special extended Wizard of Oz VCR tape by the way.*

_______________________________________________

As originally written, the song, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", had a prelude:

When all the world is a hopeless jumble

And the raindrops tumble all around,

Heaven opens a magic lane

When all the clouds darken up the skyway,

There's a rainbow highway to be found

Leading from your window pane

To a place behind the sun,

Just a step beyond the rain

The prelude makes the song even more poignant. Dorothy wants to go not just to a world that is colorful, but also not a "hopeless jumble".

Was somewhere over the rainbow part Wizard of Oz play?

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. Some day 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.
