The <str<strong>on</strong>g>Windows</str<strong>on</strong>g> of <strong>the</strong> world are covered with rain,<br />

Where is <strong>the</strong> sunshine we <strong>on</strong>ce knew ?<br />

Ev'rybody knows when little children play<br />

They n ed a sunny day to grow straight and tall. Let <strong>the</strong><br />

sun shine through.<br />

The <str<strong>on</strong>g>Windows</str<strong>on</strong>g> of <strong>the</strong> world are covered with rain,<br />

Let <strong>the</strong> sun shine through.<br />
