Rainbow Connection
Monheit Jane Lyrics

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
Why do people sing about rainbows so often?

And what's on the other side?
What can be found at the end of a rainbow?

Rainbows are visions but only illusions
A rainbow is a sight to behold but not entirely real

Rainbows have nothing to hide
Rainbows are transparent and have nothing to conceal

So we've been told and some choose to believe it
We've been told that rainbows are illusions, and some accept it as truth

But I know they're wrong, wait and see
I believe that rainbows are more than just illusions and time will prove it

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
One day we will discover the true nature and meaning of rainbows

The lovers, the dreamers and me
Those with passion, imagination, and curiosity will understand this connection

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
Who claims that every desire is guaranteed to come true?

And wished on the morning star
People place their heartfelt wishes upon stars that shine in the morning sky

Somebody thought of it and somebody believed in it
Someone first imagined this tradition and someone else put faith in it

And look what it's done so far
This act of hoping has brought about significant achievements and positive outcomes

What's so amazing that it keeps us star gazing
What is so captivating about the stars that compels us to stare at them?

And what do they think we might see?
What is the purpose or expectation behind looking at stars?

All of us under its spell
We are all enchanted by something beyond our understanding

We know that it's probably magic
We know that this experience is something wondrous and inexplicable

Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
Have you ever been in a daze and heard sounds that don't exist?

I've heard them calling my name
I've heard these phantom sounds seemingly address me personally

Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
Is this the ethereal noise that entices and guides novice seafarers?

The voice might be one and the same
It's possible that these phenomena come from the same source

I've heard it too many times to ignore it
I've experienced this phenomenon repeatedly and can't dismiss it

It's something I'm supposed to be
It seems that I have a purpose related to this enigmatic situation

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
We will eventually understand the linkage and symbolism of rainbows

The lovers, the dreamers and me
Those with a romantic, imaginative nature are destined to uncover this association alongside me.
