Lyrics of
The Muppet Movie - Rainbow Connection

The Rainbow Connection was written by Paul Williams and Kenny Ascher for the 1979 film The Muppet Movie. It was performed by Kermit the Frog at the beginning of the movie. The song has become iconic, representing the pursuit of dreams and belief in miracles. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Why are there so many songs about rainbows,
and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions.
Rainbows have nothing to hide.

So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong; wait and see.

Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.


Who said that every wish will be heard and answered
when wished on a morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed him.
Look what it's done so far.

What's so amazing and keeps us stargazing?
What do we think we might see?

Some day 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.
Are these the sweet sounds 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.
