It starts when we're kids, a show-off in school
Makin' faces at friends, you're a clown and a fool
Doin' prat-falls and bird-calls and bad imitations
Ignoring your homework, now that's dedication
You work to the mirror, you're getting standing ovations
You're burning with hope, you're building up steam
What was once juvenilish, is grown-up and stylish
You're close to your dream
Then somebody out there loves you
Stands up and hollers for more
You found a home at the magic store
The rainbow connection
Why are there so many songs about rainbows?
That's part of what rainbows do
Rainbows are memories, sweet dream reminders
What is it you'd like to do?
All of us watching, and wishing we'd find it
I've noticed, you're watching too
Someday you'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and you
Life's like a movie, write your own ending
Keep believing, keep pretending
We've done just what we set out to do
