An appreciation song for Celestia's work.

## Information

Made in a record time of 36 hours. 4EverfreeBrony has said about the song:

> This one is just generally about appreciating and taking advantage of Celestia's ability and blessing to raise the sun for Equestria. Having fun with friends and family can sometimes make us forget the light given to us is a blessing every day, whether given by God or not.

The song was first released on YouTube with artwork by DragonwolfRooke, on anticipation of 4EverfreeBrony's third album, *Small Horses and Other Stuff*, on February 21, 2014. An acoustic version was later released on the compilation album *54 Degrees*.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
Look at the blue that covers the sky
Look away then shield your eyes
The future's lookin' bright
It takes away your sight, yeah
Lay in the sunlight, just sit back, just sit back
Follow your mind or follow your heart
Follow the leader out of the dark
Your energy will drain
It's more than just a game, yeah
Forget the sunset, just relax, just relax
Whoa, oh, oh, oh

**[Chorus]**
Roll through the grass
Run with the wind
Wake up and greet yourself with a grin
Dry up the rain
Count up the days
Wish all your thoughts and troubles away
Bathe in the light
'Cause summer's begun
That's what it feels like under the sun
*(Under the sun)*
Whoa, uh, oh, uh
*(Under the sun)*
That's what it feels like under the sun

**[Verse 2]**
Stay indoors or come outside
Either way, just make up your mind
It's getting pretty late
There's still some time to play, yeah
Time waits for no one, don't you know, don't you know?
Hope the best, prepare for the worst
Listen a while or eat your words
You think you're pretty tough
It sounds simple enough, yeah
When it's all over, come on home, come on home
Whoa, oh, oh, oh

**[Chorus]**
Roll through the grass
Run with the wind
Wake up and greet yourself with a grin
Dry up the rain
Count up the days
Wish all your thoughts and troubles away
Bathe in the light
'Cause summer's begun
That's what it feels like under the sun
*(Under the sun)*
Whoa, uh, oh, uh
*(Under the sun)*
That's what it feels like under the sun

**[Chorus]**
Roll through the grass
Run with the wind
Wake up and greet yourself with a grin
Dry up the rain
Count up the days
Wish all your thoughts and troubles away
Bathe in the light
'Cause summer's begun
That's what it feels like under the sun
*(Under the sun)*
Whoa, uh, oh, uh
*(Under the sun)*
That's what it feels like under the sun
