Song's Analysis

You'll see the sun come shining through for you

•Ben, the two of us need look no more

We both found what we were looking for

With a friend to call my own

I'll never be alone

And you my friend will see

You've got a friend in me

(You've got a friend in me)

Ben, you're always running here and there

(Here and there)

You feel you're not wanted anywhere

(Anywhere)

If you ever look behind

And don't like what you find

There's something you should know

You've got a place to go

(You've got a place to go)

I used to say "I" and "me"

Now it's "us", now it's "we"

I used to say "I" and "me"

Now it's "us", now it's "we"

Ben, most people would turn you away

I don't listen to a word they say

They don't see you as I do

I wish they would try to

I'm sure they'd think again

If they had a friend like Ben

(A friend)

Like Ben

(Like Ben)

Like Ben

Well, hello, it's good to hear your voice

I hate to call you so late, but I didn't have a choice

I'm calling you from Dallas, headed for L.A.

I wish I had more time to talk, there's so much to say

 

Chorus: No, I can't forget how I was raised

But I'm living way too fast

It's a roller coaster ride, up and down

My new job is going great, I'm headed for the top

I should be happy but somehow I'm not

Sometimes I think the devil has got me by the sleeve

Oh, mama, don't forget to pray for me.

 

Tell me, how is the weather?

Have you put the garden out?

Are the dogwoods bloomin' out behind the house?

No, I'm not sick, there's nothing wrong, don't wake up, Dad.

I just thought of you and home and got a little sad.

(Back to chorus)

93 Million Miles from the Sun

Jazon Mraz

93 million miles from the Sun,

people get ready, get ready

'Cause here it comes it's a light,

a beautiful light, over the horizon

into our eyes

Oh, my my how beautiful,

oh my beautiful mother

She told me, "Son in life you're gonna go far,

if you do it right you'll love where you are

Just know, wherever you go,

you can always come home"

[Chorus] Ohh, ohh, ohh Ohh, ohh, ohh

240 thousand miles from the Moon,

we've come a long way to belong here

To share this view of the night,

a glorious night,

over the horizon is another bright sky

Oh, my my how beautiful,

oh my irrefutable father

He told me, "Son sometimes it may seem dark,

but the absence of the light is a necessary part

Just know, you're never alone,

you can always come back home"

[Chorus] Ohh, ohh, ohh Ohh, ohh, ohh

You can always come back, back

Every road is a slippery slope

There is always a hand that you can hold on to

Looking deeper through the telescope

You can see that your home's inside of you

[Chorus] Just know, that wherever you go,

no you're never alone,

you will always get back home

Ohh, ohh, ohh Ohh, ohh, ohh [Outro]

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed

So you cloud open one that leads you to the perfect road

Like lightning bolt, your heart will blow

And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light

And let it shine

Just own the night

Like the Forth of July

• Be confident and hard work
