Lyrics
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
