Activity 7Clearly
( By Grace vanderwaal )

[1]. There's a world outside my door
I don't know it anymore
I'm gonna stay here now
I'm gonna stay here now
Close the curtains, cut the light
A bunch of darkness in my mind
It's gonna take me down
It's gonna take me down

[2]. All the roads I've been before
Same mistakes always got me shakin'
And all the signs I once ignored
In my denial, I didn't want to face them

[3]. I can see clearly now
The rain has gone
I accept all the things that I cannot change
Gone are the dark clouds
The dawn has come
And it's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day

[4]. There's a world outside my door
I forced mu feet down to the floor
I'm gonna make it out
I'm gonna make it out
Take a breath and say a prayer
Find the strength in my despair
It's not gonna take me down
It's not gonna take me down

[ 5 ]. All the pain in my sorrow
Won't change today, only Ruin tommorow
All the pain in my sorrow
Won't change today, only Ruin tommorow
