I can see clearly Now
SADF Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is no more 40 days in our way
Gonna be great to see the states again
No more death, no more sorrow, no more pain
No more death, no more sorrow, no more pain
Gone is the days of war, friends left behind
All of the blood, and all of the tears we cried
Used to these enemies on our side
No more death, no more sorrow, no more pain
God knows this war, just had to be
For the people of this land, must be set free ...
I can see clearly now, the pain is gone
There is no more fear now in our way
Gonna be great to see my kids again
No more death, no more sorrow, no more pain
No more death, no more sorrow, no more pain ...
No more death, no more suffering, no more pain
No more death, no more suffering, no more pain
God knows this war, just had to be
For the people of this land, must be set free ...
I can see clearly now, the war is gone
There is no more 40 days in our way
Gonna be great to see the states again
No more death, no more sorrow, no more pain
No more death, no more sorrow, no more pain
No more death, no more sorrow, no more pain
The lyrics to SADF’s song “I Can See Clearly Now” talks about the end of war and the relief that comes with it.

The lyrical content reflects the emotions that arise after the end of any war or conflict.
The repetition of the line “No more death, no more sorrow, no more pain” adds emphasis to the end of war and how the singer and others affected by it can now have a chance for a new beginning. Additionally, the lines “God knows this war, just had to be / For the people of this land, must be set free” suggest the reason behind the war was not just a battle for territory but rather a fight for freedom.
