On the day I was born,
Said my father, said he.
I've an elegant legacy
Waiting for ye,
'Tis a rhyme for your lips
And a song for your heart,
To sing it whenever
The world falls apart.
Look, look,
Look to the rainbow.
Follow it over the hill
And the stream.
Look, look,
Look to the rainbow.
Follow the fellow
Who follows a dream.
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
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
Look, look,
Look to the rainbow.
If happy little bluebirds
Look, look,
Look to the rainbow.
Fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?
Follow the fellow
Who follows a dream.
