I can see clearly now

I can see clearly.
The world is straight ahead.
Darkness is behind me.
Towards the light I am lead.

Escape the hellish bonds I had.
Create ones that are new.
Return to a steady pace.
Return to you.

Time is of the essence.
Not sure how long it will last.
Time is slipping towards me.
Time is slipping past.

On my own I make a path.
On my own I travel.
I can see clearly now.
I know not where I'm lead.
