Lyrics
Why are there so many
Reflecting on the abundance of songs dedicated to rainbows.
Songs about rainbows
Questioning the prevalence of songs specifically about rainbows.
And what's on the other side
Wondering about what exists on the other side of a rainbow.
Rainbows are visions
Viewing rainbows as symbolic visions or dreams.
They're only illusions
Stating that rainbows are not tangible but deceptive.
And rainbows have nothing to hide
Asserting that rainbows are transparent and have no secrets.
So we've been told and some chose to
Referring to societal beliefs about rainbows, some accepting them.
Believe it
Expressing a personal disbelief in the societal narrative.
But I know they're wrong wait and see
Confidently asserting the speaker's disagreement with the prevailing view.
Someday we'll find it
Anticipating a future realization or discovery.
The Rainbow Connection
Introducing the concept of "The Rainbow Connection."
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Referring to a connection shared by lovers and dreamers.
Who said that every wish
Questioning the validity of the idea that every wish is heard and answered.
Would be heard and answered
Challenging the belief in the effectiveness of wishing upon a star.
When wished on the morning star
Referencing the tradition of making wishes on the morning star.
Somebody thought of that
Acknowledging the origin of the concept of wish fulfillment.
And someone believed it
Highlighting the impact of belief in wishes, emphasizing consequences.
And look what it's done so far
Reflecting on the significant outcomes resulting from such beliefs.
What's so amazing
Pondering the extraordinary aspects that capture our attention.
That keeps us star gazing
Questioning our motivations for gazing at the stars.
What so we think we might see
Contemplating what we hope to see while star gazing.
Someday we'll find it
Reiterating the expectation of discovering "The Rainbow Connection."
That Rainbow Connection
Reaffirming that the connection involves lovers and dreamers.
The lovers the dreamers and me

Have you been fast asleep
Asking if the listener has been oblivious or unaware.
And have you heard voices
Inquiring about hearing inner voices or thoughts.
I've heard them calling my name
Personally acknowledging hearing voices calling the speaker's name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls
Posing a question about the nature of a sweet, captivating sound.
The young sailors
Referring to young sailors who may hear the same mysterious voice.
The voice might be one and the same
Suggesting a potential connection between the speaker and the sailors.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
Acknowledging repeated experiences of hearing the same calling.
It's something that i'm supposed to be
Recognizing a sense of destiny or purpose in responding to the calling.
Someday we'll find it
Reiterating the expectation of discovering "The Rainbow Connection."
The rainbow connection
Reaffirming that the connection involves lovers and dreamers.
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Concluding with a joyful, harmonious refrain.
La lala la lala la la la lala la la la
Ending with a playful and musical expression.
