Yeah, yeah

On the day I was born, said my father, said he
"Here's an elegant legacy waiting for ye
Here the song for your lips and a rhyme for your heart
Sing it whenever the world falls apart"

Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hills and the sea
Oh look, oh look, look to the rainbow
Oh, and then follow the fellow who follows the dream

So I bundled my heart and I roamed the world free
To the east with a lark, to the west with the sea
And I roamed over the Earth and I scanned all of the skies
And I found out, found out in my true love's eyes

Oh, look, oh look, oh yeah, look to the rainbow
Yeah, yeah, yeah, follow it over 
Follow it over the hills and the sea
Oh yeah, yeah, you have to look
Oh yeah, yeah, you have to look
Oh, yeah to the rainbow
Oh, and follow the fellow, who follows, follows the dream

Look, oh look, look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hills and the sea
Oh look, oh, you gotta look to the rainbow
And then follow the fellow who follows, follows the dream

There may be a little trouble in your home, but look
You may not be able to see it very clear
Keep on looking
And then follow it over
It looks a little cloudy 'round that forest
Over the hills and the shade
Man, ain't your day, hold you head up and
Keep on looking to the rainbow
And follow the fellow who follows, follows the dream

Well, look
Yeah, to the rainbow
Follow it over
If you don't have shoes for your children
Follow it over the hills
