And this song was written by
Harold
Davenport
Bacharach, and they were very into
the situation in the world today.
And listen to the lyrics.
If the world had windows,
it'd be rather polluted, it'd be cluttered.
It probably would be drenched with tears
from the sky.
The windows of the world
are covered with rain
Where as 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,
yeah
The windows of the world
are covered with rain
When will those black skies
turn to blue?
Cause everybody knows
When boys grow into men
They start to wonder when
Their country will call
Let the sun shine, let the sun shine,
let it shine
The windows of the world
are covered with rain
But there's a whole world coming to
Everybody knows
When men cannot be friends, they fall off an edge,
where some have to die, let the sun
shine through.
The windows of the world
are covered with rain
Now there must be something that you
an d you and you and I can do
Cause everybody knows
Whenever rain appears
It's really angel tears
Oh
Lord, how long
How long must they cry
Let the sun shine through
Let the sun shine through
Let the sun shine through
Oh, let it shine
The win dows of the world
They're covered with rain
The windows of the world
Reflecting too much pain
The windows of the world
Too many men are dying
The windows of the world
Even the angels are fighting
The windows of the world
Let's give peace a
chance
Let's stop and think about the
little children
Let the sun shine
Let the black skies once
again be blue
Too many, too many, too many,
men have died.
Mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers,
all, all are crying.
Oh, yeah.
The guilty are sad.
