Somewhere over the rainbow :d
An idiom is a phrase that makes no sense unless you know the definition. Could there be "somewhere over the rainbow?" Yes, you could have a place that was beyond or over a rainbow, so this is not an idiom. The song is talking about a place that Dorothy thinks is better than where she is now, that she thinks might be beyond the rainbow she sees.
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, oh then why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow, why Oh why can't I?
Yes it is.
