I can see clearly now©
This is a great chart song from the 1970s that has a motivational message. It’s not really about the weather!
Words and Music by Johnny Nash
Song Lyrics View: Normal
I can see clearly now the rain has 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 sunshiny day.
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright sunshiny day.
I think I can make it now the pain has gone.
All of the bad feelings have disappeared.
Here is the rainbow I’ve been praying for.
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright sunshiny day.
Look all around,
There’s nothing but blue skies.
Look straight ahead,
Nothing but blue skies.
Ah, ah,
Ah, ah, ooh.
I can see clearly now the rain has 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 sunshiny day
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright sunshiny day
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright sunshiny day
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright sunshiny day-ee-yay-ee-yeah.
Ooh.
