The Rainbow Connection

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

Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection

The lovers, the dreamers, and me

Who said that ev'ry wish would be heard and answered

When wished on the morning star?

Somebody thought of that, 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?

Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection

The lovers, the dreamers, and me

All of us under its spell;

We know that it's probably magic

Have you been half asleep and heard voices?

I've heard them calling my name

Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors

I know it's 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.
