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 lemondrops 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? Some day I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemondrops 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? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
Tragedy in the Sky On the morning of Feb. 1, 2003, the space shuttle Columbia broke up in the sky over Texas on its way to landing to Florida. Seven brave astronauts lost their lives during the tragic event. A Dream Fulfilled "To leave behind Earth and air and gravity is an ancient dream of humanity," President Bush said at the service, which aired on nationwide television. "For these seven it was a dream fulfilled. Each of these astronauts had the daring and discipline required of their calling." |
