On the day I was born
Said me father said he
I've got an elegent legacy waiting for ye
'Tis a rhyme for your lips
And a song for your heart
To sing it whenever the world falls apart

Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hill and stream
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow the fellow who follows a dream

'Twas a sumptuous gift
To bequeath to a child
Oh the lure of that song kept her feet running wild
For you never grow old
And you never stand still
With whip-poor-wills singing beyond the next hill

Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hill and stream
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow the fellow who follows a dream

So I bundled me heart and I roamed the world free
To the east with the lark
To the west with the sea
And I searched all the Earth
And I scanned all the skies
But I found it at last
In my own true love's eyes

Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hill and stream
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow the fellow who follows a dream

Follow the fellow
Follow the fellow
Follow the fellow
Who follows a dream
