Carpenters
"The Rainbow Connection"

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

Who said that wishes would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Someone thought of that and someone believed it
And look what it's done so far

What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Some day 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 sleeping and have you heard voices?
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
Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Some day, some way, I know we'll find it
The lovers, the dreamers and me
