Lyrics

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"
 Ah, the wars
 They will be fought again
 The holy dove
 She will be caught again
 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
 And the signs were sent
 The birth betrayed
 The marriage spent
 Yeah, the widowhood
 Of every government
 Signs for all to see
 And 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 thundercloud
 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
 That's how the light gets in
 You can add up the parts
 But you won't have the sum
 You can strike up the march
 There is no drum
 Every heart, 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
