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

Some day 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?
I've heard them calling my name

Is this the sweet sound
That called 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
