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

But 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 every wish would be heard and answered

And wished on the morning star

Somebody thought of it and somebody believed in it

And look what it's done so far

What's so amazing that it keeps us star gazing

And what do they think we might see?

Someday 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 I'm suppose to be

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection

The lovers, the dreamers and me
