The Rainbow Connection

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions but only illusions
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

Well, who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Well, somebody thought of that and someone believed it
Look what it's done so far

And 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

And all of us under its spell
We know that it's probably magic

Well, have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
And is this the sweet sound that called the young sailor?
The voice may be one and the same

But I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Someday we'll find The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
The lovers, the dreamers and me
