Lyrics Only

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.

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

Look all around, there’s nothin’ but blue skies.
Look straight ahead, nothin’ 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.
