The Sunshine Song - Live at the Charter One Pavillion, Chicago, IL, 8/13/2009
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
And much too full on the pain
When I look to the sky to help me
And sometimes 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 theres 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
