Somewhere over the rainbow...

Songs just seem to fill your head 'n heart every time you listen to them... written by someone you don't know - someone you probably never will get to know and yet somehow speaking your heart out with his/her words , successfully too. Miraculous, isn't it?!!

Lines that could never could be born of an ordinary, yet somehow conceived so fully by the ordinary themselves! It's like Einstein mentioning the term "Theory of Relativity" without having to explain what it is all about, as if the E = mc2 formula had been in there all this time, just hidden at the back of our heads!

I don't know what the moral of the story is or should be. Should I explain things optimistically, or be a pessimist (i.e., a perfect mood-spoiler) or should I be the plain-pragmatic one?? These are the lines that made me think all of this,

"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"

and they will be the ones I will keep wishing upon..... :-)
