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   Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection   The lovers, the dreamers and me      Well, who said that every wish would be heard and answered   When wished on the morning star?   Well, somebody thought of that and someone believed it   Look what it's done so far      And 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      And all of us under its spell   We know that it's probably magic      Well, have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?   I've heard them calling my name   And is this the sweet sound that called the young sailor?   The voice may be one and the same      But I've heard it too many times to ignore it   It's something that I'm supposed to be   Someday we'll find the rainbow connection   The lovers, the dreamers and me   The lovers, the dreamers and me
