As a highly sensitive person, I’m trying to find anything that will uplift my mood and give me hope during these troubled times. I recent heard a song on the radio that did just that! The song was “I Can See Clearly Now”, a #1 hit, written and recorded by Johnny Nash. Originally released in 1972, it achieved blockbuster success in the US and the United Kingdom. This song was later recorded by many artists throughout the years, including versions by Jimmy Cliff and Bob Marley.

In addition to having an upbeat tempo, the lyrics of the song are beautiful and profound. They are as follows:

“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, sunshiny day.

It’s gonna be a bright, bright, sunshiny day.

Yes I can make it now the pain is gone.

All of the bad feelings have disappeared.

Here is that rainbow I’ve been praying for.

It’s gonna be a bright, bright, sunshiny day.

Look all around, there’s nothing but blue skies.

Look straight ahead, there’s nothing but blue skies.

I can see clearly now the rain is gone.

I can see all obstacles in my way.

Here is that rainbow I’ve been praying for.

It’s gonna be a bright, bright, sunshiny day.

It’s gonna be a bright, bright, sunshiny day.”

How can you apply these words to your life circumstances? How can you clear the cobwebs from your mind and body? How can you stay optimistic in troubled times? How can you gain the strength to move confidently forward? I’m interested in any thoughts or comments that you have.
