I Can See Clearly Now

After losing an eye

you'd think I'd still cry

why me Lord

this life isn't fair.

As I used to have two

to view sky’s of blue.

Am I being treated

as if God doesn't care?

Feeling sorry for self

putting life itself on a shelf

seemed so easy

as if this should be the norm.

But then came the reminding

that each cloud has it's lining.

A silver one

with a lesson to learn.

Although one was gone

I'd have to move on

with a life

that had plenty of purpose.

You see the sky is still as blue

as when I had two

but now

I can see it's shear beauty.

There are flowers and trees

the birds and the bees

I see them all

with a fresh mind.

It's as if there's new light

with a brand new insight

and appreciate

the beauty in all.

Everything is beautiful

in it's own way.
Like the starry summer night,

or a snow-covered winter's day.
And everybody's beautiful

in their own way.
Under God's heaven,

the world's gonna find the way.
