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... blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow why then oh why can't I???

Somewhere over the rainbow... blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow why then oh why can't I???
If happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow...
Why oh why can't I???

I want to run free... Running free in the wind Wishing that I could fly Hoping that I could get away And leave this world behind I want to run free where the blue birds sing And "somewhere over a rainbow" comes true I want to be able to speak my mind To say that I love you... Swimming free in my pool of thoughts Wishing that "it" could come true Hoping that I could soar away And go straight home to you But I don't know where "home" is Or better yet where I wish it could be The only thing that I do know is what I see... Skipping free in my dreams Wishing that fake could be real Hoping that I could get away And take you with me to the world of surreal I know the difference between dreams and reality But I don't want to know I know the difference between glee and sorrow But that just makes the emptiness grow... I want to run free where the blue birds sing And "somewhere over a rainbow" comes true I want to be able to speak my mind To say that I love you... © dmm... June/98

did you... did you ever look up at the sky on a cool night feeling the breeze whisper across your skin and feel this longing you didn't understand... did you ever want to go just to keep moving until you got to the place you felt you should be the place you needed to be even though you didn't know where it was... did you ever stand alone and look looking at nothing and everything all at once... as you looked did you feel you were missing someone to look with someone to move with someone to feel the whispering breeze with... and after you stood there wondering waiting dreaming did you go back to the ordinary what there always had been... © dmm...
