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 every 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 have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet spell 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, di-da-da-doo
La-da-da-da, da-di-da-doooo
