How do you interpret "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"?

Ignoring the meaning in the movie, what do you think the lyrics mean?

Here they are, in case you forgot:

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
A way above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why, can't I?

If happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why, can't I?

BQ: Which version of the song do you think is the best?
