Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There’s a land out of reach and
Lost to both you and I
Somewhere over the rainbow
Hopeless view
Where the dreams you’re a fool to dream
Never do come true
Someday day I’ll beg upon a star
To tell me what the reasons are
Remind me
Lest troubles flow like sanguine drops
Beneath my corpse as afterthoughts
That’s how you’ll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds die
Birds fall broken from lost hope
Wondering why, oh, why?
If happy little bluebirds fly
But blue birds fail to answer why
What, oh, what hope have I?
Lyrics based on Over the Rainbow © 1939 EMI FEIST CATALOG INC
This speaks to my heart right now, so lovely

Well that’s unfortunate (;
But there is a distinction here between blue bird (blue, as in sad) and bluebird (the actual bird) (:

the poem takes a much more twisted feel if you also add twitter to the mix :p
