"The Sunshine Song" (Jason Mraz)

This is one of my favorite songs from my idol, Jason Mraz:
 
Well sometimes the sun shines on other people's houses and not mine.
Some days the clouds paint the sky all gray
And it takes away my summertime.
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you,
While I struggle to get mine.
If there's a light in everybody,
Send out your ray of sunshine.
 
I want to walk the same roads as everybody else,
Through the trees and past the gates.
Getting high on heavenly breezes,
Making new friends along the way.
I won't ask much of nobody,
I'm just here to sing along.
And make my mistakes looks gracious,
And learn some lessons from my wrongs.
 
Well sometimes the sun shines on other people's houses and not mine.
Some days the clouds paint the sky all gray
And it takes away my summertime.
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you,
While I struggle to get mine.
A little light never hurt nobody,
Send out your ray of sunshine.
 
Oh, if this little light of mine
Combined with yours today,
How many watts could we luminate?
How many villages could we save?
And my umbrella's tired of the weather wearing me down.
 Well, look at me now.
 
You should look as good as your outlook,
Would you mind if I took some time,
to soak up your light, your beautiful light?
You've got a paradise inside.
I get hungry for love and thirsty for life,
 But much too full on the pain,
When I look to the sky to help me
And often it looks like rain.
 
As the sun shines on other people's houses and not mine,
And the sky paints those clouds in a way
That it takes away the summertime,
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you,
while I kindly stand by.
If there's a light in everybody,
Send out your ray of sunshine.
 
You're undeniably warm, you're cerulean,
You're perfect in desire.
Won't you hang around
so the sun, it can shine on me,
And the clouds, they can roll away,
And the sky, can become a possibility?
If there's a light in everybody,
Send out your ray of sunshine.
 
 
Here is some concert footage of it. This is the best video I could find, but the beginning is a little blurry but it gets better after a minute as the camera adjusts. Sounds is great, though. 
 


Jason makes me happy! I think I'm going to spend the day and watch concert footage of my idol. That will be very uplifting!
