I Think it’s Going to Rain Today
by Randy Newman
Broken windows and empty hallways,
pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it’s going to rain today.
Scarecrows dressed in latest styles,
frozen smiles chase love away.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it’s going to rain today.
Lonely, lonely.
Tin can at my feet,
think I’ll kick it down the street.
That’s the way to treat a friend.
Bright before me the signs implore me:
help the needy, show them the way.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it’s going to rain today.
