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?



All of us under its spell

We know that it's probably magic



Have you been half-asleep and 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



La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la

Yeah
