'The Harder They Come' was a great song.

In heaven for you:

 

????"I think I can make it now the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day" ????

I believe it was Jimmy Cliff that sang "The harder they come" from the film with the same name. Jimmy Cliff did do a cover version of "I Can See Clearly Now" for the film, Cool Runnings (1993) - The fist Jamaican Bobsleigh team staring John Candy who unfortunately passed away in 1994, just after filming.
