Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
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 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
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) sun-shiny day..

The song's opening lines convey a sense of clarity and newfound understanding; the singer can see all the obstacles in their way but knows they can overcome them. The chorus repeats the phrase "It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sun-shiny day," emphasizing the positivity and hope that lies ahead. The second verse suggests that the singer has been through a difficult period in their life, experiencing pain and negative emotions, but they have managed to overcome it all. They are able to see a rainbow, a symbol of hope and promise, and are filled with optimism for what's to come.
The overall message of the song is one of resilience and perseverance. It encourages listeners to believe in themselves and their ability to overcome any obstacles that they may face. The use of weather metaphors, such as "dark clouds" and "rain," adds to the song's uplifting and hopeful tone. By the end of the song, the singer is filled with a sense of joy and optimism, seeing nothing but blue skies ahead.
