This 1972 #1 hit was the lone stand-out from Johnny Nash.  It was popularly remade for the inspirational Disney film Cool Runnings.  The song, while fun and upbeat, is all about clarity and the freedom that comes with it.  Enjoy!!

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)
Sun-Shiny 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)
Sun-Shiny day.

Look all around, there’s nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothing but blue skies
