To turn your dreams to a fact: It\u2019s up to you!
\u2014 song, Stout-Hearted Men<\/em><\/strong>, from 1930s\u2019s movie, \u201cNew Moon<\/em>\u201d\u2014Sigmund Romberg<\/p>\n
\u201cIf little bluebirds all can fly beyond the rainbow, why, oh why can\u2019t I ??\u201d<\/p>\n
Climb every mountain, ford every stream; follow every rainbow, \u2018til you find you dream! <\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve got to have a dream! I you don\u2019t have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFairy tales can come true, it can happen to you, if you\u2019re young at heart.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c…what is it you\u2019d like to do?
All of us watching and hoping you\u2019ll find it\u2014(We know that you\u2019re watching, too!\u201d)
Some day we\u2019ll find it, the Rainbow Connection…
(All kinds of mayhem as the scenery collapses)
Life\u2019s like a movie, write your own ending, keep believing, keep pretending,
We\u2019ve done just what we set out to do, just like
The lovers, the dreamers, and you!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
