Rainbow Connection
[Male #1 with THE WAFFLETOOTS harmonizing]
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
[Male #1 with THE WAFFLETOOTS]
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
[Male #1 with THE WAFFLETOOTS harmonizing]
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
And what do we think we might see?
[Male #1 with THE WAFFLETOOTS]
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
All of us under its spell
I know that they're probably magic
[Male #1 with THE WAFFLETOOTS harmonizing, (THE WAFFLETOOTS)]
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I hear them calling my name (I hear them call my name)
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors
The voice might be one and the same (One and the same)
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
There's something that I'm supposed to be
[Male #1 with THE WAFFLETOOTS]
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
[Male #1]
The lovers, the dreamers, and me
