[Verse 1: Page One]

I'm left without my own devices to steer me along, at the twelfth hour

Eerily calm, encircled with power

Like the center of a cyclone, as I stand before the white throne

Forfeited the right to make my plight known

When I slept upon the knowledge of God in fruitless pursuit

Of acceptance into the upper echelon, death crept upon

Me unexpectedly, face to face with destiny

Now what could be worse, too late to reverse the trajectory

Events long buried are brought to remembrance

At a 360-degree panoramic view

Forbidden thoughts I never thought twice about thinking

Are replayed audibly for the entire world to listen to

And now I'm forced to, come to grips with the fact

That I was dangerously missin' the mark like a blind kid playin' horseshoes

Living for the moment, and the irony of it is

It was never even up to me to try and make atonement

Supreme sacrifice of Christ, early on I learned of that

Still turned my back on the Most High, with closed eyes

Wandering like a vagrant, with flagrant

Disregard for the fact that I was created with a purpose, but I was stagnant

Squandered the gift of life bestowed upon me, now from under my dirty laundry

I can see the paradise of which they testified

Access denied, no entrance, no room for repentance

No appealing the second death sentence

[Chorus]

I can see clearly now

O God, why won't You hear me now, my sorrow and tears

There was always tomorrow, but now tomorrow is here

Please, moisten my tongue 'cause I can't swallow for fear

I can see clearly now

O God, why won't You hear me now, my sorrow and tears

There was always tomorrow, but now tomorrow is here

Please, moisten my tongue 'cause I can't swallow for fear

[Verse 2: Braille]

Wake me up from this, let me escape the abyss

Drifting thoughts, existence lost in clocks ticking

Winding, you warned me but stopped reminding

My mind that my timing was crucial

Life is short, filled with remorse and guilt

Standing tall with no balance, stumbling with stilts

Built to last, in the last days

Chopping fingers, counting down to the day I rejected

The name I rejected, instead of praise

I regret it, it's not just because of these flames

I'm amazed by His magnificence

And woulda saw it sooner if I thought about the future but didn't realize

What was real, what was lies

Waiting for lightning to strike, twice

In my backyard, and shift my perception

Sometimes it takes a miracle for non-spiritual individuals

To see perfection

Even when it's flowing through their minerals and blood stream

I feel ugly on behalf of resistance

And would go back and change if You gave me permission

I look back at my life, so ashamed

Left behind, nothin' but memories of corruption

I feel ugly on behalf of resistance

And would go back and change if You gave me permission

[Chorus]

I can see clearly now

O God, why won't You hear me now, my sorrow and tears

There was always tomorrow, but now tomorrow is here

Please, moisten my tongue 'cause I can't swallow for fear

I can see clearly now

O God, why won't You hear me now, my sorrow and tears

There was always tomorrow, but now tomorrow is here

Please, moisten my tongue 'cause I can't swallow for fear

[Verse 3: Othello]

My love for you spread across eons of time

Into unfathomable amounts, one in which only I'm

Capable of expressing without fault, its unfortunate we're meeting

On terms where there isn't any other objective

Life came to a permanent halt

In a flash of a second we're face to face with only I knowing the end result

You stand before Me unaware of Who I am still

Though you knew Me before time existed, with tears of pain My eyes fill

And spill over to stream My face, then I replay your life back to you

From the time you were a seed until the last grain of sand falls

In the hourglass of breath, revealing all points in between birth and death

I see you weep as you witness Me turn My head to avoid

From having to watch twice all the things that broke My heart

I gave to you all of Me in a package of faith

You laughed and mocked and spat upon the box and watched as it sank

Deep to the bottom of the lack of pride

I embrace you, hang your head, I walk away

Depart from Me, I never knew you up until today

I embrace you, hang your head, I walk away

Depart from me, I never knew you up until today
