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      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 under its spell   We know that it's probably magic      Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?   'Cause I've heard them calling my name   Is this the sweet sound that calls 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
