Before I dive in, I want to say a huge thank you to the amazing judges of the Vibes Community 
For this week’s entry, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and do a cover of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Judy Garland, from the classic 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz.
If you’ve seen the movie, you’ll remember that unforgettable moment when young Dorothy, feeling out of place and longing for something more, gazes at the sky and dreams of a magical land "somewhere over the rainbow." It’s a scene filled with both innocence and hope a reminder that sometimes, no matter how gray our skies look, there’s a brighter place ahead if we dare to dream. 🌈✨
PS: This is a picture of my younger sister who just graduated from the university of uyo... She dare to dream and now she has gotten the victory ✌️❤️❤️
This is the lyrics:
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
Away 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?
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
This song is such a timeless piece delicate, emotional, and full of meaning. Honestly, it was quite a challenge for me to perform it because it demands both vocal control and emotional depth. There were moments I doubted if I could do it justice… but we conquered it! 💪🎤 Every note became a step forward, every phrase a reminder to push past fear.
