Adapted lyrics:
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what’s on the other side?
Rainbows are visions and only illusions
and rainbows have nothing to hide
What’s so amazing that keeps us star gazing?
What do we think we might 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?
Someday thought of that
and someone believed it
look what’s it’s done so far
And 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
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?
The voice be one and the same
And 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
La de da de de da do
La da de de da do…
