Fun & Nonsense with Johnny Nash

Face in the Crowd thinks we need a song to begin the week. He suggested one of my favorite songs of all time to serve as the template. Once he suggested it I could not get it out of my head.  Feel free to join in and become a song writer.

I can see clearly now that w's gone
We can see all obstacles in our way
Gone is the Darth Vader who made us blind
Its gonna be a bright bright sun shiny day

I think we can make it now, that Bush has gone
And the bad vibes have all disappeared
Here is the saner course we've been waiting for
Its gonna be a new and  bright sun shiny day
                       
Look all around, there's nothin but good guys
Look straight ahead, nothin but good guys

I can see  all the  neocons are gone
No more lyin repubs are in control
They are all cryin that they count no more
Its gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day

We can get better now that w's gone
We can see our new leader most every day
Now it seems nothin bad is in our way
Its gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day

Look all around there's nothing but blue states
Look straight ahead, nothin but blue states

We have Barack in charge, and Bush has gone
We now have Biden and the sneers have all disappeared
Grandma Pelosi has the House all cleaned
We're gonna sail a bright and new sunshiny wave
