Bobbie Gentry
The Windows of the World
[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 sunshine through

[Verse 2]
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 sunshine through

[Verse 3]
The windows of the world are covered with rain
What is the whole world coming to?
Everybody knows when men cannot be friends
Their quarrel often ends, and some have to die
Let the sunshine through

[Verse 4]
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 sunshine through
