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 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 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 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
