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 stargazing
   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 wonder its spell
   We know 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
   The voice might be one in 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
