"Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" Virtual Choir

As performed by Israel Kamakawiwo' Ole, arr. Roger Emerson
Performers: 2020 Arvada West HS Choir Seniors
Directors: Chris Maunu and Esther Terpenning
The seniors in our choir department would have graduated last weekend. As a parting gift, some of these seniors came together to pass along this message to the world. While so many are missing out on their graduations, celebrations, and all other final rites of passage of high school, this group of students wishes to remind you that there is a time where these dark clouds will be far behind us. They have also shared that while we are desperately longing for the day when this pandemic passes, that even now, there is so much beauty to be seen in this world We see bluebirds fly, trees of green and red roses too, skies of blue and clouds of white, the brightness of day, and even the beauty of night, faces of people passing by. Somewhere over the rainbow.

'Kay, this one's for Gabby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me
Oh somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?
Well I see trees of green and red roses too
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day highlight the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, "I...I love you"
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than we'll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world, world
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I? I?
