I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW
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.
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
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 . . .

So literally appropriate for us in central NH and VT today, and the literal leads often to the metaphorical!
