The Rainbow Connection

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
 And 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
 And 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 it's 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 called the young sailors
 The voice might 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
