Over the Rainbow is the final song in the season one finale of Glee, Journey. Mr. Schuester performs this song as a thank-you towards New Directions after their performance of To Sir, With Love, which was sung especially for him. It was announced that they get another year to perform as New Directions before Will starts singing with Puck. It is originally by Judy Garland for the movie The Wizard of Oz, though the Israel Kamakawiwoʻole version is covered. Over The Rainbow is included in Glee: The Music, Journey to Regionals. In this scene, we see Shelby adopt Beth. It is last song performed in season one.

Lyrics
Will with Puck:
Ooooo hoooooo hoooooo...
Will:
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I dreamed of
Once in a lullaby... (Puck: lullaby...)
Will with Puck:
Somewhere over the rainbow
Will:
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true... (Puck: come true)
Oh, Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are
Far behind me...
Will with Puck:
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me...
Will:
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, then, oh, why can't I...? (Puck: I...?)
