In the begining he is saying that people think of rainbows as illusions, but Kermit the philosopher doesn't believe this. "I know they are wrong wait and see"
Kermit then talks about how someone came up with the idea of wishing on a star and then asks what has it done so far? Then he tells us in a question. He tells us that it "keeps us stargazing". We are hoping to see a shooting star and make a wish. This is our dream.
Our dream is to be able to have what we want (make a wish) magically. He says that it is like a spell and even though we know that it is just magic (has no basis in reality), we none the less still hope to see that shooting star and make our wish.
He then talks about hearing voices. He asks if the voice he hears is the same as the one that sailors hear. Now, you may think Kermit is referring to the muses who suckered sailors into their doom.
I think he is talking about the voices sailors hear that calls them out to the pleasure of the sea. As in, "the sailor heard his calling; to sail the seas."
Kermit then says that he cannot ignore it, that it is real and not imaginary. What I think he is saying here is that he is destined to be a lover and a dreamer (in a sense like we all are.)
And that is what I think he is saying overall here. That dreaming is not real and we are told that dreams are not real, but dreams are as real as love (feelings) and somehow Kermit is connected to them (they are all related).
Of course this song was sung by a muppet so who knows, but it is still pretty deep and a beautiful song.
It may be sung by a puppet, but it's been sung by others, such as Sarah McLaughlin (sp?). I don't know if you're right, but your thoughts on the meaning actually make sense :)
