May you have auspiciousness and causes of success
May you have the confidence to always do your best
May you take no effort in your being generous
Sharing what you can, nothing more nothing less
May you know the meaning of the word happiness
May you always lead from the beating in your chest
May you be treated like an esteemed guest
May you get to rest, may you catch your breath

And may the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows
And may the road less paved be the road that you follow

Well here's to the hearts that you're gonna break
Here's to the lives that you're gonna change
Here's to the infinite possible ways to love you
I want you to have it
Here's to the good times we're gonna have
You don't need money, you got a free pass
Here's to the fact that I'll be sad without you
I want you to have it all

Oh! I want you to have it all
I want you to have it
I want you to have it all

May you be as fascinating as a slap bracelet
May you keep the chaos and the clutter off your desk
May you have unquestionable health and less stress
Having no possessions though immeasurable wealth
May you get a gold star on your next test
May your educated guesses always be correct
And may you win prizes shining like diamonds
May you really own it each moment to the next

And may the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows
And may the road less paved be the road that you follow

Well here's to the hearts that you're gonna break
Here's to the lives that you're gonna change
Here's to the infinite possible ways to love you
I want you to have it
Here's to the good times we're gonna have
You don't need money, you got a free pass
Here's to the fact that I'll be sad without you
I want you to have it all

Oh, I want you to have it all
I want you to have it
I want you to have it all

Oh, I want you to have it all
All you can imagine
All, no matter what your path is
If you believe it then anything can happen
Go, go, go raise your glasses
Go, go, go you can have it all
I toast you

Here's to the hearts that you're gonna break
Here's to the lives that you're gonna change
Here's to the infinite possible ways to love you
I want you to have it
Here's to the good times we're gonna have
You don't need money, you got a free pass
Here's to the fact that I'll be sad without you
I want you to have it all

Oh, I want you to have it all
I want you to have it
I want you to have it all

Here's to the good times we're gonna have
Here's to you always making me laugh
Here's to the fact that I'll be sad without you
I want you to have it all

General CommentThis is the perfect song for if you feel like you’re losing your young, care-free spirit. Like the song itself, the video is full of upbeat visuals. As Jason Mraz goes through the town, he picks up various young artists to play with him (and segue with him?), singing about all of the great things that they have ahead of them. Jason is bringing the message that he wants young people to have the lives that they’re optimistically dreaming about – he wants them (us) to have it all. He takes these youngsters to inspire even younger youngsters at an elementary school. Soon, we see everyone joining in on the dance party of the decade, proving that this message isn’t just for the young, but everyone should be allowed to have it all!

Song FactOn April 27th 2018, Jason emailed the following to his fan club:
---

"May you have auspiciousness and causes of success" is a common greeting in Myanmar and one I first heard while touring back in 2012. That's where the seed for "Have It All" was planted. In the spring of 2013 I joined songwriters David Hodges and JKash (and, later, our friends in Raining Jane) to figure out the rest of the song puzzle, keeping with the themes of auspiciousness: good favor, peace, love, and success. I view this song as a toast, a musical greeting card, one meant for sharing with the people you love most. YOU.

In music video land, we enlisted veteran director Darren Doane to help us capture the bright spirit and adventure of spreading joy through the streets of my hometown Richmond, VA. (RVA!)

In RVA I'm fortunate to work with both SPARC (the School of Performing Arts in the Richmond Community) and the National Turnaround Arts Program as an artistic advisor and ambassador to the arts. My job is to visit schools and participate in many fields of play in an overall effort to shine a light on The Arts, which we now KNOW helps improve grades, attendance, and the quality of life for students and teachers. Art makes learning fun and makes kinder, smarter people. These participating school programs - along with Katie Grober (Waitress) and our hip Principal played by Greg Grunberg (Alias, Heroes, Star Wars) - transformed our music video into a positive, creative use of media. Something we can all be proud of. How else can you get 200 kids to come to school on a Sunday?

"Have It All" is a simple song with a hopeful message. Of the many I've written in the past four years during ever-changing times, "Have It All" is a reset back to the heart; a return to joy; a song with a message of generosity; a blessing disguised as a playful rap song; one meant to be paid-forward and shared.

I want you to have it all.

Jason

General CommentI've had this song on repeat since it came out. To their utter dismay my two teenage daughters listened to it with me. It's a sweet affirmation of your love, hope and dreams for my children and I'm glad he wrote it!
