Way Over Yonder Lyrics

Way over yonder is a place that I know
Where I can find shelter from huger and cold
And the sweet tasting good life is easily found
Way over yonder - that's where I'm bound
I know when I get there, the first thing I'll see
Is the sun shining golden - shining rigth down on me
Then trouble's gonna lose me - worry leave me behind
And I'll stand up proudly in true peace of mind
Way over yonder is a place I have seen
In a garden of widsom from some long ago dream
May be tomorrow I'll find my way
To the land where the honey runs in rivers each day
And the sweet tastinggood life is so easily found
Way over yonder - that's where I'm bound
Way over yonder - that's where I'm bound

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

To me, this is about finding your inner peace. "Way over yonder"- that place within your self that is at peace with you and every aspect of life, good and bad. The sweet tasting good life is so easily found, even when life gets hard, b/c no one has power over you any more! What an ideal state! I'm still working on reaching that state I tell ya! Some days are easier than others.

To me, it has two meanings. 1) It can mean finding tranquility and inner peace. 2) It can mean eternal paradise or Heaven.

I lean towards tranquility, but it's just the feel of the song reminds me of a gospel. I absolutely love the song, it's actually my favorite song from the album Tapestry. (even more than it's too late or I Feel The Earth Move)
