Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Whoa

Ha, it's your boy

Let's go

This is a tribute right here

Uh, and it's about to go down

[Verse 2]

Do you remember when it was like September?

Before you grew cold like December

And all you saw were cloudy days

(Talk to me)

[Verse 3]

And I remember

That day when you surrendered

(You remember that)

You stopped hurting 'cause you remembered

(God's here)

The season, it won't last alway-ay-ay-ays

[Verse 4]

Ba-di-ya, tell me you remember

Ba-di-ya, when your heart felt like September

(Remember that)

Still had the joy, and God was just a prayer away

(I wanna take it back to that place)

(Come on, let's sing it, oh)

[Verse 5]

(Ba-du-du, ba-du, ba-du-du, ba-du)

I can see clearly now

(Ba-du-du, ba-du, ba-du-du, ba-du)

The sun is much brighter now

(That's right, remember September because)

(Ba-du-du, ba-du)

The season, it won't last always

[Verse 6]

Seemed like forever

(Seemed like forever)

You said, when will my life get better

I'm tired of stormy weather

(But guess what, God's people?)

Let the sun always shine today

(You gotta promise that, listen)

[Verse 7]

So just remember

The next time you feel like December

Remember that night in September

(When God promised you)

When God wiped all your tears away

(He wiped every tear 'cause He did it)

[Verse 8]

Ba-di-ya, tell me you remember (Tell me)

Ba-di-ya, when your heart felt like September

(Remember that)

Still had your joy and God was just a prayer away

(Still had your joy, God was just prayer away)

(Remember, I'm taking it back)

[Verse 9]

Ba-di-ya, tell me you remember

Ba-di-ya, when your heart felt like September

Still had your joy and God was just a prayer away

(And he was just a prayer away)

(Check this out, God's people)

[Verse 10]

(Everybody has a September in their life)

(You know that first time you heard God's voice)

(Or you felt His love)

(So no matter what season you're in right now)

Season, it don't matter

(After winter, comes spring)

(So if you love my Jesus, help me sing, oh)

[Verse 11]

Ba-di-ya, tell me you remember

Ba-di-ya, when your heart felt like September

(You remember that)

Still had your joy and God was just a prayer away

(Still had your joy)

(Ha, come on, people, let's hit it again, oh)

[Verse 12]

Ba-di-ya, tell me you remember

(Remember)

Ba-di-ya, when your heart felt like September

(Don't let 'em take it)

Still had your joy and God was just a prayer away

(You still had it)

[Verse 13]

(I wanna take it one more time)

(This is for all the people, oh)

[Verse 14]

Ba-di-ya

(I can see clearly now)

(I can see clearly now)

Ba-di-ya-di-ya

(The sun is much brighter now)

(The sun is much brighter now)

Ba-di-ya-di-ya

(Remember September)

(The season, it won't last always)

(God knows, you gotta know he controls)

[Verse 15]

Ba-di-ya-di-ya

(I can see clearly now)

(This is for New Orleans)

Ba-di-ya-di-ya

(The sun is much brighter now)

(This is for Mississippi)

Ba-di-ya-di-ya

(The season, it won't last always)

(This is for Alabama y'all)

(The season wont last always, oh)

[Verse 16]

Ba-di-ya-di-ya

(I can see clearly now)

Ba-di-ya-di-ya

(The sun is much brighter now)

Ba-di-ya-di-ya

(The season, it won't last always)
