Paul Williams
Rainbow Connection
[Verse 1]
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, they're 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
Love makes the sweet sounds that call the young sailors
I think they're one in the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
Something that I'm supposed to be
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me
