Lookin' out your window, what do you see
Teeming life and alleyways of misery
Day after endless day
Doin' the same old thing in the same old way
Where's the hope and the freedom, you're wondering now
But you gotta make it through another night somehow

Hundreds of windows on your street alone
And every window has a story all its own
You try and you try, but you can't see your way out
All you know is you're sick and tired of going without
The plain truth if you could only see
Is you can be anything you want to be

Let your light shine through the windows
Don't let your story be the sad one
Let your light shine through the windows
Don't let yourself be the bad one

Dog lifts his leg on a spindly tree
While innocent children play at life in innocent reverie
Dreams are bought and dreams are sold
If you don't get yours, you'll be left out in the cold

They say your eyes are windows
That show your soul down to the very core
But as you look around in desperation
You know you just can't take it anymore

Sure, its not as advertised
But it does you no good to close your eyes
'Cause the plain truth if you could only see
Is you can be whatever you want to be

Windows in the city lookin' all around
Windows lookin' in and out, and up and down
The plain truth if you could only see
Is you can be anything, anything you want to be

Let your light shine through the windows
Let your light shine through the windows

The plain truth if you could only see
Is you can be whatever you want to be
Just let your light shine through the windows
