Anthem

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

The wars they will

Be fought again

The holy dove

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

Thats how the light gets in

We asked for signs

The signs were sent

The birth betrayed

The marriage spent

The widowhood

Of every government

Signs for all to see

Can't run no more

With the lawless crowd

While the killers in high places

Say their prayers out loud

But theyve summoned up

A thundercloud

And theyre going to hear from me

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

To love will come

But like a refugee

Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering

There is 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 in everything

That's how the light gets in

That's how the light gets in

That's how the light gets in
