Rainbow Connection

Rainbow Connection:

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.
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
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 called 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.

We picked up The Green Album this weekend, with hopes of putting the Mickey CD out of sight for a while. Carson loves to sing in the car! I was sold when I saw that Rainbow Connection was on the album. It has always been a meaningful song to me.

A few years ago, on our trip to Portland, we were in the Children's Museum and there was this guy playing the guitar under a huge paper tree. It was raining out and there were these huge windows all along the back of the museum looking out into the park. We were sitting on the floor listening, holding Carson.......and it was just this magical moment.

I have always loved this song! I think that it is amazing how music can really transport you sometimes. Rainbow Connection makes me so happy! Then and now, it gives me hope and reminds me to keep dreaming.
