You'll never walk alone

I can see clearly now



After the driest spring on record, it is time for the clouds to gather




For the sky to draw up water from the sea.  For the light to fade, and the temperature to drop.


The land needs refreshment,



Let's just say that after years of metaphorical drought, a little rain isn't going to hurt.


No matter how dark the skies become.... 



It is only temporary. It is only passing clouds.....



And here it comes....


I raise my eyes to the sky, wondering if I will be soaked,


And find that I don't really care.


Indeed, it is welcome.  Life had become parched, and had withered like the plants in the dry fields.  



So when the sky lightens and the clouds begin to break up, I can see clearly....



And, like the symbols they have become, scarlet poppies wave across the resting fields,


Ox-eye daisies open up to face  the sun,


Under blue, sunny skies,



And I feel like singing (to myself.....)


Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
For your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

Richard Rodgers and 
Oscar Hammerstein II




I think 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 sun shiny day

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 sun shiny day
It's gonna be a bright, bright sun shiny day

Johnny Nash
