Lyrics

Why are there so man y

songs be a bout rain bows, and what’s on the oth

er side?

Rain bows are vi of sions, but on ly il lu sions, and rain bows have noth ing to hide.

So we’ve been told, and some choose to be lieve it.

and I know they’re wrong; wait and see.

Some day we’ll find it, the rain bow con nec tion; the lov ers, the dream ers, and me.

Who said that ev ’ry wish

would be heard and an swered when wished on the morn

ing star?

Some bod y thought of that, and some one be lieved it; and look what it’s done ing so far.

What’s so a maz ing that keeps us star gaz ing, and what do we think we might see?

Some day we’ll find it, the rain bow con nec tion; the lov ers, the dream ers, and me.

me.

La da da dee da da do

la la da da da dee da do.

This page shows “The Rainbow Connection by Kermit The Frog in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 92 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
