Somewhere over the rainbow Song

I've posted the lyrics - I will post the video later this weekend. You can try googling it if you like.
This is a challenging song due to the melody.  Do your best remember you can sing the song a little higher if it is too low for you.

Sorry for the delay. Here is the video.

Habitat song
