Rainbow Connection
Anne Reburn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 a 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
And 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 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 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
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me
The lyrics of Anne Reburn's song "Rainbow Connection" delve into the mystique and wonder of rainbows, exploring the symbolic and metaphorical meanings behind this natural phenomenon. The opening lines ponder on why songs often reference rainbows and what lies on the other side of them, touching upon the enigmatic nature of rainbows being both visions and illusions with nothing to hide. This captures the dual essence of rainbows as both beautiful and intangible phenomena that captivate human imagination.
The lyrics then challenge the conventional wisdom that rainbows are just illusions, suggesting that there is more to be discovered and experienced beyond what is commonly believed. This defiance against the norm sets the stage for a more profound exploration of the "rainbow connection," a metaphorical link between individuals based on shared dreams and aspirations. The essence of the song lies in the hope and belief that someday, this elusive connection will be found by the lovers, the dreamers, and the individual reflecting upon these thoughts.
The song further questions the idea of wishes being heard and answered, pointing out that this belief has led to significant outcomes thus far. It delves into the fascination and wonder that prompt people to gaze at the stars and ponder the unknown, hinting at the universal human desire to seek out magic and wonder in the world around us. The repeated mention of stargazing and what we might see signifies a longing for something beyond the ordinary, a search for a deeper connection that transcends the mundane aspects of life.
In the final verse, the lyrics bring a sense of personal introspection, asking if the listener has ever experienced moments of wakefulness where they hear voices calling their name. This ethereal and mystical experience is likened to the sweet sound that beckons young sailors, underscoring the idea that there is a guiding force or a higher purpose at play in our lives. The insistence that this feeling cannot be ignored and that it is integral to the individual's identity culminates in the reaffirmation of the rainbow connection, a shared bond that unites the dreamers and lovers in their quest for meaning and fulfillment. Anne Reburn's poignant lyrics in "Rainbow Connection" resonate with themes of hope, wonder, and the timeless pursuit of connection and purpose in an ever-changing world.

Rainbows are visions
Rainbows are seen as beautiful images
But only illusions
But in reality, they are just optical illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
And there are no hidden meanings or secrets behind rainbows
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
We have been informed and some people choose to accept it
I know they're wrong wait and see
I personally believe they are mistaken, time will prove it
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
One day we will discover the deeper meaning of the connection to rainbows
The lovers, the dreamers, and me
Those who are in love, those with dreams, and myself

Who claimed that every desire
Would be heard and answered
Would be acknowledged and granted
When wished on a morning star?
If wished upon a star in the morning?
Somebody thought of that
Someone came up with that idea
And someone believed it
And there were individuals who had faith in it
And look what it's done so far
And see the impact it has had up to this point
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
What is so astonishing that makes us keep looking up at the stars?
And what do we think we might see?
And what do we believe could be revealed to us?
All of us under its spell
Everyone captivated by its charm
We know that it's probably magic
We understand that it likely involves some form of enchantment
Have you been half asleep
Have you been drowsy and unaware
And have you heard voices?
And have you heard mysterious voices?
I've heard them calling my name
I have heard them calling out to me
Is this the sweet sound
Could this be the pleasant sound
That calls the young sailors?
That beckons to young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same
That voice could be essentially one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
I have heard it too often to disregard it
It's something that I'm supposed to be
It is something that I am meant to experience
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
One day we will uncover the significance of the bond with rainbows
The lovers, the dreamers, and me
Those who are in love, those with dreams, and myself
