Rainbow Connection
Utah State That One Lyrics

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
Why are people so fascinated with rainbows and continue to sing about them through music?

And what's on the other side?
What exists beyond the physical presence of a rainbow?

Rainbows are visions but only illusions
Rainbows are visual phenomenon that give us illusions of grandeur and beauty but are not tangible objects.

Rainbows have nothing to hide
Rainbows are a natural occurrence and are open to interpretation and wonder.

So we've been told and some choose to believe it
Many people believe that rainbows are nothing more than an illusion and that they hold no real significance.

I know they're wrong, wait and see
The singer personally disagrees with those who believe that rainbows hold no significance and suggests that there is more to it than meets the eye.

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The singer believes that there is a greater meaning behind the existence of rainbows and hopes to one day uncover it.

The lover's, the dreamer's and me
The artist suggests that those who are in love or dreamers are the ones who can fully appreciate the beauty and potential of rainbows.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
The artist questions the idea that every wish made will be granted and fulfilled.

When wished on the morning star?
Some believe that if you make a wish on a morning star, it will come true.

Somebody thought of that and someone believed it
The idea of wishes being granted may have originated from someone's imagination and someone else believed it to be true without proof.

Look what it's done so far
The idea of making wishes has influenced people's actions and possibly even their beliefs.

What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
What is it about the stars that continue to capture our imagination and draw us in?

And what do we think we might see?
Do we have any expectations of what we might discover or experience while star gazing?

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The singer returns to the idea that there is something to be discovered in rainbows that we have not yet fully understood.

The lover's, the dreamer's and me
The artist reinforces the notion that those who love and dream are the ones who may be able to uncover the deeper meaning of rainbows.

All of us under its spell
The artist suggests that all of us are affected by the spell of rainbows in some way, even if we do not realize it.

We know that it's probably magic
The singer believes that there is something magical about rainbows that cannot be fully explained.

Have you been half-asleep and have you heard voices?
The singer poses a rhetorical question regarding hearing voices while in a half-asleep state, perhaps alluding to the idea of intuition and subconscious exploration.

I've heard them calling my name
The artist personally acknowledges hearing voices calling their name, potentially suggesting a deeper connection to the unexplainable.

Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailor?
The artist uses a metaphor comparing the voices they hear to the sweet sound that would call a young sailor, perhaps alluding to the idea of exploration and discovery.

The voice might be one and the same
The artist suggests that the voice they hear and the voice that calls a young sailor may be one and the same, further supporting the idea of interconnectedness and discovery.

I've heard it too many times to ignore it
The singer believes that the voices they hear cannot be ignored or dismissed, and perhaps that they hold a greater significance.

It's something that I'm supposed to be
The artist recognizes a sense of purpose or calling related to the voices they hear, further suggesting the idea of destiny and discovery.

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The singer returns once more to the idea of uncovering the mystery and deeper meaning of rainbows.

The lover's, the dreamer's and me
The singer concludes the song by emphasizing the idea that those who love and dream, like the singer, are the ones who may eventually uncover the true meaning and significance of rainbows.
