Creative Challenge #49

Creative Challenge #49

Not mine, but the challenge words "rays of sunshine" brought this song to the forefront of my mind.

Lyrics

Ray Of Sunshine
Jason Mraz

well sometimes the sun shines on other people's houses and not mine
some days the clouds paint the sky all grey
it takes away my 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

i wanna walk the same roads as everybody else
through the trees and past the gates
i getting high on heavenly breezes
and make some new friends along the way

i won't ask much of nobody
i'm just here to sing along
and make my mistakes look gracious
and learn some lessons from my wrongs

but sometimes the sun shines on other people's houses and not mine
some days the clouds can paint the sky all grey
and take away my summertime

and somehow the sun keeps shining upon you while i struggle to get mine
a 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

well my umbrella's tired of the weather wearing me down
well look at me now

you sure look as good as your outlook
would you mind if i took some time
to soak up your light, your beautiful light
you got a paradise inside

i get hungry for love and thirsty for life
but much to full on the pain
when i look to the sky to help me
and it often looks like rain

well sometimes the sun shines on other people's houses and not mine
and some days the clouds paint the sky all grey
and take away my summer time

and 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

you're undeniably warm, and cerulean
yea you're perfect in design
i hope you hang around

so the sun, it can shine on me
and the clouds can all roll away
and the sky can become our possibility
well there's a light in everybody, send out your ray of sunshine
