John Mellencamp - Chasing Rainbows 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
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

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 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

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
