Rainbow Connection
Kris Aquino Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows?
And what's on the other side
Rainbows have visions
And only illusions
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 says that ev'ry wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on a morning star
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
Look what it's done so far
What's so amazing
That keeps us star-gazing?
And what do you think we might see
Someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Coda:
All of us under it's 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





La la la la la la la

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kris Aquino's song Rainbow Connection question the significance of rainbows and what lies beyond them.

The lyrics suggest that rainbows are more than just a beautiful sight; they have a deeper meaning that we are yet to discover. The song talks about how people have been told that rainbows are only illusions with nothing to hide, but the singer believes that there is more to them than we know. The lyrics urge the listeners to wait and see because someday, we will find the rainbow connection that links the lovers, dreamers, and all of us under its spell.
