Anthem

[Verse 1]

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, mm hm

[Verse 2]

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, mm hm

[Chorus]

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

Oh, the light gets in

[Verse 3]

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

They're gonna hear from me

They're gonna hear from me

[Chorus]

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

Oh, the light gets in

[Verse 4]

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, every heart to love will come
