i can see clearly now the rain is gone

I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW
Johnny Nash

I can see clearly now the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way,
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day.

I think I can make it now the pain is gone,
And all of the bad feelings have disappeared,
Here is the rainbow I've been praying for.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day.

Look all around, nothing but blue skies.
Look straight ahead, nothing but blue skies.

I can see clearly now the rain is gone.
I can see all obstacles in my way.
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day.



Nothing much to say at this point, except that this is my favorite summer song. I love what it says about the clarity that summer gives--that is, it doesn't mean that you don't have any obstacles in your way; it's only that you see all these obstacles clearly, so you know exactly what they are and are better prepared to face them. There is, of course, the song's upbeat melody as well. :)
