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
Some day 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
Someone believed it
And look what it’s done so far

What’s so amazing
That keeps us stargazing
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, you know that it’s probably magic

Have you been half asleep?
Have you heard voices?
I’ve heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound
That calls the young sailors?
That voice might be one and the same

I’ve heard it too many times to ignore it
There’s something that I’m supposed to be
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 some of us believe it
And look what we’ve done so far!

What’s so amazing
That keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we’ll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me
