[Nfbk] Over the Rainbow

[Joey Couch]

"Over the Rainbow"

More than seven decades ago, a popular film swept the country—a
magical tale of a girl searching for home, for happiness and peace.
The enduring appeal of The Wizard of Oz has made it a beloved part of
American culture.

At its heart, the movie features a ballad, “Over the Rainbow,” which
won the Academy Award for Best Song in 1939. It has even been ranked
as the number-one song of the 20th century and is considered one of
the greatest songs of all time.

“Over the Rainbow” is one of those songs that never seems to grow old.
Its message is so universal and yet so personal, so simple and yet so
profound. There’s something about this song that speaks to our souls
and inspires us to hope, to dream.

It takes courage to dream, because on this side of the rainbow, things
sometimes go wrong. Who among us has not had hopes and dreams dashed
from time to time? But somehow, someway, we muster the strength to
keep trying and do our best to go forward. Our dreams are what keep us
going; they keep our hope alive.

In a world of hard knocks and dark clouds, some might say that it’s
silly to dream and hope. But the more we live, the more we realize
that it’s not the achievement but the reaching and trying that keep us
engaged in life. To paraphrase biblical wisdom, without hopes and
dreams, we perish.

So dare to dream; dare to hope. Have faith that somewhere, behind the
clouds, skies are blue, and somehow hopes and dreams really will come
true.
