I Can See Clearly Now Lyrics

Beautiful and moving song. I know everyone says it's upbeat, but in my opinion the mood is ambivalent. This makes me think that the person has dealt with major hardship and/or sadness and is now trying to convince himself that it is all going to be better, but there is an undertone of doubt and sadness nonetheless.
