Rainbow Connection


I am feeling so connected to Kermit these days, just can't get him off my mind.  I have been listening to Rainbow Connection over and over and over and over, just can't seem to get enough.  I suppose I have been in need of a strong dose of optimism recently and Kermit certainly has given it to me. 


The song and the frog:


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,

and 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.

La, la la, La, la la la, La Laa, la la, La, La la laaaaaaa


Music and lyrics by Paul Williams, sung by Kermit the Frog
