Anthem

The birds they sing
 At the break of day.
 Start again,
 I heard them say,
 Don't dwell on what
 Is 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
 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.
 And they've summoned,
 They've summoned up
 A thundercloud
 And they're going to 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
 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.
 Oh, 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...
 That's how the light
 gets
 in.
