I Can See Clearly Now

I heard this song on a recent, sunny day, and it hit me in a way it never had before. I realized that it describes the great relief I feel, having put religion behind me. It's practically an atheist anthem, except for that little reference to prayer. So I changed a few words...

I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW (my version)

I can see clearly now, religion's gone.

I can see all obstacles in my way.

Gone are the christian clouds that had me blind.

It's gonna be a bright, bright, sunshiney day!

Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies!

Look straight ahead, nothing but blue skies!

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 hoping for.

It's going to be a bright, bright, sunshiney day!
