Right There Above You

You wanted roses, you got daffodils
No Emerald City, just a blue house on a hill
You wanted Romeo, got the boy next door
No black Mercedes, just an old white Ford
So sure it’s better over there
'Cause your life, it just ain’t fair
Well, don’t you know there ain’t no place like home?
Yeah, no goin' over the rainbow
The grass ain’t greener, the air ain’t cleaner
Yeah, no goin' over the rainbow
You never knew that the skies are blue right there above you
You wanted Paris, you got the KOA
No ruby slipper, just what’s on sale today
You wanted color, it’s all black and white
That’s all you see, it’s just an ordinary life
But with a cynic point of view
What you have will never do, oh
Don’t you know there ain’t no place like home?
Yeah, no goin' over the rainbow
The grass ain’t greener, the air ain’t cleaner
Yeah, no goin' over the rainbow
You never knew that the skies are blue right there above you
I’m lookin' at the sky
You start to wonder why
I can’t fly away too, like the little birds do
Do you think that there’s a person behind the velvet curtains?
He’ll make your wishes come true
Well, I got bad news for you
Yeah, no goin' over the rainbow
The grass ain’t greener, the air ain’t cleaner
Yeah, no goin' over the rainbow
You never knew that the skies are blue, the skies are blue
The skies are blue right there above you
The skies are blue right there above you
