1
The birds they sang
2
At the break of day
3
Start again
4
I heard them say
5
Don't dwell on what
6
Has passed away
7
Or what is yet to be.
8
Ah the wars they will
9
Be fought again
10
The holy dove
11
She will be caught again
12
Bought and sold
13
And bought again
14
The dove is never free.
15
Ring the bells that still can ring
16
Forget your perfect offering
17
There is a crack in everything
18
That's how the light gets in.
19
We asked for signs
20
The signs were sent:
21
The birth betrayed
22
The marriage spent
23
Yeah the widowhood
24
Of every government --
25
Signs for all to see.
26
I can't run no more
27
With that lawless crowd
28
While the killers in high places
29
Say their prayers out loud.
30
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
31
A thundercloud
32
And they're going to hear from me.
33
Ring the bells that still can ring ...
34
You can add up the parts
35
But you won't have the sum
36
You can strike up the march,
37
There is no drum
38
Every heart, every heart
39
To love will come
40
But like a refugee.
41
Ring the bells that still can ring
42
Forget your perfect offering
43
There is a crack, a crack in everything
44
That's how the light gets in.
45
Ring the bells that still can ring
46
Forget your perfect offering
47
There is a crack, a crack in everything
48
That's how the light gets in.
49
That's how the light gets in.
50
That's how the light gets in.
