A long, long time ago When I used to chase rainbows I thought there was a pot of gold when I got to the end But there were many people there And I said, "What are you doing here?" They said they were looking for The end of the rainbow At the end of the rainbow Turns out it's not somewhere Look around, it's everywhere For anyone who cares This world is full of fancy dreams Money can get you anything But that's not really true It's just make-believe As you walk down streets of broken dreams Some have lost everything But others are still looking for an easy pot of gold At the end of the rainbow Turns out it's not somewhere Look around, it's everywhere For anyone who cares Some people will go to any means To capture shallow dreams In this world of make-believe That we all believe is true When you get there, there's no place to go Just a lot of, "I told you so's" So take this love with you when you go To the end of the rainbow At the end of the rainbow Turns out it's not somewhere Look around, it's everywhere For anyone who cares At the end of the rainbow Turns out it's not somewhere Look around, it's everywhere For anyone who cares

Just heard the news today, let yourself down once again Trusted your feelings in a place that no one goes Will you do anything, to satisfy your so-called friend? There's something you ought to know, before you explode All I want to do is make sure you stop chasing rainbows Trusting those around you is an easy thing to do I'm not saying don't believe in someone that you don't know Just don't go on thinking that the whole world tells the truth It's all fucked up, being reserved and quiet She doesn't understand the message that you send Don't give it all away somewhere, sometimes there's someone Who can replace that state of mind, you never give it time (never) All I want to do is make sure you stop chasing rainbows Letting everybody crawl inside your heart and mine Kicking you is easy when you're down that's where the weak go To release their anger on someone who will not try To stand up, and give them a fight

I'm always chasing rainbows Watching clouds drifting by My schemes are just like all my dreams Ending in the sky Some fellows look and find the sunshine I always look and find the rain Some fellows make a winning sometimes I never even make a gain Believe me, I'm always chasing rainbows Waiting to find a little bluebird in vain I'm always chasing rainbows Watching clouds drifting by My schemes are just like all my dreams Ending in the sky Some fellows look and find the sunshine I always look and find the rain Some fellows make a winning sometimes I never even make a gain Believe me, I'm always chasing rainbows
