Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what’s on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we’ve been told and some choose to believe it; I know they’re wrong, wait and see.
Some day we’ll find it, the rainbow connection the lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of it, and someone believed it, look what it’s done so far.
What’s so amazing that keeps us star gazing and what do we think we might see?
Some day we’ll find it, the rainbow connection; the lovers, the dreamers and me.
All of us under it’s spell, we know that it’s probably magic.
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices, I’ve heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors? The voice might be one and the same.
I’ve heard it too many times to ignore it. It’s something that I’m s’posed to be.
Someday we’ll find it the rainbow connection, the lovers the dreamers and me,
La da da dee da da, Dum, da da da da dee da da do.
