Through a broken window Covered with dirt and cobwebs And from within an empty house Crumbling and derelict Even the bleakest landscape Can look fine and good When the water runs in Through the sagging old roof It makes the rain outside Seem healthier and clean So that drafts blowing through Cracked and buckling walls Make the harshest winds Feel kind and warm Because when the interior Is so desolate and empty It makes the worst of the world Seem pretty much good enough So why bother to change Anything at all                                                By Phil Roberts

THROUGH A BROKEN WINDOW
Through a broken window Covered with dirt and cobwebs And from within an empty house Crumbling and derelict Even the bleakest landscape Can look fine and good When the water runs in Through the sagging old roof It makes the rain outside Seem healthier and clean So that drafts blowing through Cracked and buckling walls Make the harshest winds Feel kind and warm Because when the interior Is so desolate and empty It makes the worst of the world Seem pretty much good enough So why bother to change Anything at all                                                By Phil Roberts
