Songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side
Rainbow's 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 half asleep
And have you heard voices
I've heard them calling my name
Are these the sweet sounds that called
The young sailors
I think they're one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
There's something that I'm supposed to be
Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
The song “Rainbow Connection” by Loggins Kenny is a classic and inspiring song that asks the question why there are so many songs about rainbows and what lies on the other side of them. The song poses the idea that while rainbows are illusions, they have a deeper meaning and purpose than simply being beautiful to look at. The lyrics suggest that despite being told that rainbows are simply an illusion with nothing to hide, there is more to them than meets the eye, and someday we will discover the true meaning behind them.
The song then introduces the concept of wishes and dreaming, suggesting that someone thought up the idea of wishing on a star, and it has become something that millions of people believe can bring them their heart’s desires. The song hints that perhaps there is something extraordinary about the human spirit that drives us to believe in things that are not visible to the naked eye, and that the magic of the world may be more than what we can see.
Overall, “Rainbow Connection” is a song about hope, wonder, and believing in one’s dreams. The song encourages us to keep searching for connections that may seem elusive or impossible, and to maintain a sense of wonder and curiosity about the world. It is a timeless message that has inspired people for decades and continues to do so today.
