"Rainbow Connection"
The Muppets
Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows?
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions,
They're only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told
And some choose to believe it
But I know they're wrong,
Wait and see.
CHORUS
Someday we'll find it,
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers,
And me...
Who said that ev'ry wish
Would be heard and answered?
When wished on the morning star.
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it.
And look what it's done so far...
What's so amazing
That keeps us stargazing?
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 it's spell
We know that it's
Probably magic...
(key change up 1 semitone)
Have you been half asleep?
And have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Are these the sweet sounds
That called the young sailors?
I think they're one and the same.
I've heard it too many
Times to ignore it
There's something that
I'm s'posed to be
Someday we'll find it,
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers,
And me...
