The birds they sang
At the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don’t dwell
On what has passed away
Or what is yet to be
Oh, the wars
They will be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
And bought and sold and bought again
The dove is never free
Ring the bells
That still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack
A crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in
We asked for signs
The signs were sent
The birth betrayed
The marriage spent
The widowhood
Of every government
Signs for all to see
I can’t run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they’ve summoned
They’ve summoned up a thunder cloud
They’re gonna hear from me
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack
A crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in
You can add up the parts
You won’t have the sum
You can strike up the march
There is no drum
Every heart
To love will come
But like a refugee
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack
A crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in
That’s how the light gets in
That’s how the light gets in
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in
That’s how the light gets in
That’s how the light gets in
That’s how the light gets in
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
