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 in everything    That's how the light gets in.       We asked for signs    the signs were sent:    the birth betrayed    the marriage spent    Yeah 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 thundercloud    and they're going to hear from me.       Ring the bells that still can ring    Forget your perfect offering    There is 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.       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.
