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 chose 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 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 star gazing
What so we think we might see
Someday we'll find it
That Rainbow Connection
The lovers the dreamers and me
Have you been fast 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
La lala la lala la la la lala la la la
The song "Rainbow Connection" from the movie "The Muppet Movie" is a song about wonder, imagination and hope for a better future. It begins with the question "why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side?" The lyric suggests that rainbows might just be illusions, and we have been told that they have nothing to hide. However, the singer says that they know this is false, and that someday the world will see the truth. This truth is referred to as the "Rainbow Connection" and can only be found by the lovers, the dreamers and the singer.
The second verse suggests that every wish can be heard and answered if we believe in something strong enough. The singer questions what is so compelling about stars and what we might see in the future. This lyric is hopeful and encourages everyone to believe that anything can be achieved if you try hard enough. The last verse suggests that we have all heard a "sweet sound" calling our names that we are meant to follow. The singer vividly imagines young sailors being drawn by the sound and implies that they are being guided to 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
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 the morning star?
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it
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

Gwen Stefani covered this timeless classic so well. I have goose bumps all over 🧡💛💚💙💜💓💗💖💕💞. I have the original soundtrack album of The Muppet Movie where Kermit sings this. Gwen Stefani you did a marvelously wonderful performance. I'd love to hear you sing more classic songs and ballads. Your voice is so versatile.
