Intro/Chorus-
Well sometimes the sun shines on other peoples houses and not mine,
And the clouds paint the sky in a way that takes away my summertime,
And somehow the sun keeps shining upon you while I struggle to get by,
If theres a light in everybody send out your ray of sunshine.
Verse 1
I wanna walk the same roads as everybody else through
the trees and past the gates.
Im getting high on heavenly breezes
and making new friends along the way.
I wont ask much of nobody, Im just here to sing-a-long,
And make my mistakes look gracious
and learn some lessons from my wrongs.
Chorus
But sometimes the sun shines on other peoples houses and not mine,
While the clouds paint the sky all gray it takes away the summertime,
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you, while I struggle to get by,
If theres a light in everybody send out your ray of sunshine.
Bridge
Ohh if this little light of mine combined with yours today.
How many watts could we luminate? How many villages could we save?
If my umbrella is tired of the weather wearing me down,
Well look at me now.
Break
Verse 2
Well 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 got a paradise inside.
I get hungry for love and thirsty for life,
but much too full on the pain,
Cause when I look to the sky to help me
it most always looks like rain.
Chorus
Sometimes the sun shines on other peoples houses and not mine,
While the clouds paint the sky in a way that takes away my summertime.
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you while I kindly stand by,
A little light never hurt nobody so send down your ray of sunshine.
Chorus/Break-
Hum over the chorus chords here.
Verse 3
Youre undeniably warm, cerulean, your perfect in design,
I hope you hang around
So the sun it can shine on me,
And the clouds they can roll away.
And the sky can become our possibility,
If theres a light in everybody send down your ray of sunshine.
