Anthem by Leonard Cohen
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
