La letra de la canción cuenta con dos interpretaciones posibles: 1) la que se encuentra enmarcada en la situación que vive Dorothy en la película y, la que se abordará en este análisis, 2) una que hace referencia al contexto histórico en el que se enmarca la canción: los remanentes de la Gran Depresión y la Segunda Guerra mundial. Un tiempo en el que se vivía en constante incertidumbre y la humanidad se encontraba mostrando lo peor de sí misma.

A grandes rasgos, la letra de la canción habla del anhelo de encontrar un lugar donde vivir que se encuentre excluido del mal y en donde sólo habiten sentimientos y situaciones positivas, algo utópico. Sin embargo, este sitio no se encuentra al alcance de las personas, sino que está ubicado en algún lugar sobre el arco iris.

Someplace where there isn't any trouble...
...do you suppose there is such a place, toto?
there must be. it's not a place you can get to by a boat or a train.
it's far, far away...
behind the moon
beyond the rain
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 then, oh why can't i?
If happy little bluebirds fly
beyond the rainbow,
why oh why can't i?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Reprise cut from the movie
(judy sang this reprise in the witch's castle)
Someday i'll wake and rub my eyes,
and in that land beyond the skies you'll find me.
i'll be a laughing daffodil
and leave the silly cares that fill
my mind behind me.
If happy little bluebirds fly
beyond the rainbow,
why oh why can't i?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Complete lyrics from the original sheet music
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.
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 then, oh why can't i?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,
why oh why can't i?
