Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
At the end of the rainbow
Turns out it's not somewhere
Look around, it's everywhere
For anyone who cares
[Verse 3]
This world is full of fancy dreams
And money can get you anything
But that's not really true
It's just make-believe
As you walk down the streets of broken dreams
Where some have lost everything
While others are still looking for
That easy pot of gold
[Verse 4]
At the end of the rainbow
Turns out it's not somewhere
Look around, it's everywhere
For anyone who cares
[Verse 5]
Some people will go to any means
To capture a shallow dream
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
[Verse 6]
At the end of the rainbow
Turns out it's not somewhere
Look around, it's everywhere
For anyone who cares
[Verse 7]
At the end of the rainbow
Turns out it's not somewhere
Look around, it's everywhere
For anyone who cares
