Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The windows of the world are covered with rain
Where is the sunshine we once knew?
Everybody knows when little children play
They need a sunny day to grow straight and tall
Let the sun shine through
[Instrumental]
The windows of the world are covered with rain
When will those black skies turn to blue?
Everybody knows when boys grow into men
They start to wonder when their country will call
Let the sun shine through
[Instrumental]
The windows of the world are covered with rain
What is the whole world coming to?
Everybody knows when men can not be friends
Their quarrel often ends where some have to die
Let the sun shine through
[Instrumental]
The windows of the world are covered with rain
There must be something we can do
Everybody knows whenever rain appears
It's really angel tears, how long must they cry?
Let the sun shine through
