Broken windows, empty hallways
Pale dead moon in the sky streaked with grey
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to 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
To help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
