Thankful For the Music ~ And the Magic of the Lyrics!
The Holiday season is almost here. We have so many reasons to be thankful for all we have had the privilege of doing over the past year. Music remains present in our lives. So many good feelings come from the music.
One of our favorite songs to sing is "I Can See Clearly Now"
The words have great meaning and we use it when working with the teens and families we work with at various agencies.
Think about what these words mean as you read the lyrics to this great song.
I
Can See Clearly Now
Johnny Nash
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 down
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
Oh 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 bright bright sun shiny 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 bright bright sun shiny day
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me down
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
Oh 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 bright bright sun shiny 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 bright bright sun shiny day
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
We are thankful for the magic of music and the opportunity to share it with so many. Thanks to our wonderful musicians for all they do.
Watch for the rainbows in life and believe in the power of music!!
