I can see clearly Now
Kaitlyn Maher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
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 lyrics of Kaitlyn Maher's song I Can See Clearly Now deal with the idea of hope and optimism. The song starts with the phrase "I can see clearly now, the rain is gone", which serves as a metaphor both for freedom from the past and the beginning of a brighter future. The rain is a symbol of difficulties and problems, and the fact that it is gone suggests that the obstacles are now easier to face. The following lyrics "I can see all obstacles in my way, gone are the dark clouds that had me blind" further reinforce the idea that the singer is now able to see things more clearly, and is free from the burdens of the past.
The lyrics go on to explain that the pain is gone and all the bad feelings have disappeared, which can be interpreted as an emotional breakthrough. The phrase "here is the rainbow I've been prayin for" is another metaphor, as rainbows usually appear after a storm and symbolize the hope that things will get better. The meaning behind the lyrics concludes with the repetition of the phrase "it's gonna be a bright sun-shiny day," which reinforces the theme of hope and optimism, and encourages the listener to have a positive outlook on life.
