Anthem

Anthem

The birds they sang

at the break of day

Start again

I seem to hear them say

Do not 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

and the signs were sent:

the birth betrayed

the marriage spent

Yeah the widowhood

of every single government

signs for all to see

I can't run no more

with that lawless crowd

Ah 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

but you won't have the sum

You can strike up the march

on your little broken 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.
