089 - The Rainbow Connection
Verse 1
Why are there so man-y, songs a-bout rain-bows,
and what’s on the oth-er side?
Rain-bows are vis-ions, but on-ly il-lu-sions,
and rain-bows have noth-ing to hide.
So we’ve been told, and some choose to be-lieve it;
I know they’re wrong wait and see.
Chorus
Some-day we’ll find it,
the Rain-bow Con-nec-tion;
the lov-ers, the dream-ers and me.
[4 x Bar Re-introduction]
Who said that ev-‘ry wish, would be heard and an-swered
when wished on the morn-ing star?
Some-bod-y thought of that, and some-one be-lieved it;
and look what its done so far.
What’s so a-maz-ing that keeps us star gaz-ing
and what do we think we might see?
Chorus
Some-day we’ll find it,
the Rain-bow Con-nec-tion;
the lov-ers, the dream-ers, and me.
Bridge
All of us un-der its spell;
we know that it’s prob-ab-ly ma-gic.[Key Change]
Verse 2
Have you been half a-sleep, and have you heard voic-es?
I’ve heard them call-ing my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sail-ors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I’ve heard it too man-y times to ig-nore it.
It’s some-thing that I’m s’posed to be.
Chorus
Some-day we’ll find it,
The Rain-bow Con-nec-tion;
the lov-ers the dream-ers and me.
