Why are there so many songs about rainbows

And what's on the other side

Rainbows are visions, but only illusions
    Gmaj7         Em         C
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

Am7           D7           Bm7        E7
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection

The lovers, the dreamers and me

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
Gmaj7            Em      Am7    D Dsus4 D
When wished on the morning star
G        Em                  Am7     D
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it
G              Em      C
Look what it's done so far

Cmaj7
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
Bm7
And what do we think we might see

Am7           D7           Bm7     E7
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
    Am7         D7           G
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Bridge:
D         Em        G
All of us under its spell
   C              G        Am D7#5
We know that it's probably magic

Verse 3:
G             Em               Am7            D
Have you been half asleep, and have you heard voices
Gmaj7           Em         Am7   D Dsus4 D
I've heard them calling my name
G           Em               Am7             D
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors
Gmaj7              Em7        C
The voice might be one in the same

Cmaj7
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
Bm7                                    B7
It's something that I'm supposed to be

Am7           D7           Bm7        E7
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
    Am7         D7           G
The lovers, the dreamers and me
