I can see clearly now...

All, heard this song on the radio and the lyrics hit home to all on our various road to recovery. I dedicate this to my brother 28 years sober who used this song so may years ago as inspiration for recovery and for just feeling good. The days of lies, hangovers, guilt, shame and misery are hopefully in the rear view mirror.

I can see clearly now the rain has gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that made me crash
It's going to be a bright, bright sunshiny day

I think I can ride now the pain has gone
And all of the scabs and grazes have disappeared
Here's the bow-ti 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 nothing but blue skies

I think I can ride the fells now the rain has gone
And all of the mud + puddles have disappeared
I can ride again now the rain has gone
It's gonna be a bright, bright
Sunshiny day

Jimmy Cliff
