The auditorium empties And I shed my cloak To sing “Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high There’s a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby” My white beard covers a swollen Belly from all the milk I’ve Been drinking “Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true” Eyes sinking low and thinking, How can I give birth to A baby? “Someday I’ll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far Behind me” I was told when I was ten That I could be whatever I want “Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That’s where you’ll find me.” Try to be a mommy in a world Like this. Cloudy, broken And mean “Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can’t I?” Crazy, outrageous, scream. No one can see me For me “If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh why can’t I?” “Grandfathers can’t be mommies,” Somebody broke My dream.
