Look to the Rainbow
Barbara Cook and Barry Manilow
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 whenever the world falls apart.
Look, look, look to the rainbow.
Follow it over the hill and 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 …
Finian’s Rainbow (1947)
Lyrics by E.Y. Harburg
Music by Burton Lane

ReplyDeleteYou are so right, Giles. I was hopung others would catch on to that also, and see how helpful it reallt can be i dealing with the "troubles of the world."
DeleteThank you for stopping by.
The world is in a terrible fix today more than ever, largely because of a LACK of FAI{TH and POSITIVE THINKING.
That Barry Manilow never fails to excite!
ReplyDeleteThank you for reintroducing the public to this wonderful musical!
ReplyDeleteRainbows are good and hopeful signs. Being a supporter of President Trump I would like to remain hopeful but the swamp is not draining, at least as far as I can discern.
ReplyDeleteWhen Trump became President and he name General Michael Flynn as his national security advisor, I liked them both and Flynn seemed to be heading toward draining the swamp. And the the onset of the coup against them began with the take down of General Flynn.
Since this is about rainbows and hope, it is becoming more obvious by the day the General Flynn was coerced into a plea he took the bullet and the coup against the administration was on. And it goes on.
BUT Flynn now has a competent lawyer who is digging into the events that brought about his plea and it is a disgusting sham.
Good information can be found at the site of DR. Dave Janda a retired surgeon with a record of service in the Regan administration and a vocal and strong supported of President Trump. He has good and deep insight into the travesties afflicting the country and the world today. He discusses the set up of General Flynn and the broader coup against President Trump here:
