Why are there so many songs about rainbows   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   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? Have you heard voices?   I've heard them calling my name   Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?   It may be one and the same      I've heard it too many times to ignore it   It's something that I'm supposed to be   Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection   The lovers, the dreamers and me      La, la la la, la la la   La la la, la la la, la la   Yeah
