Lyrics
On the day I was born
Said my father, said he
"I've an elegant 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 hills and the 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 all, at last
In my own true love's eyes
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hill and the 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
