[length: 06:06]
[00:10.99]The birds they sang
[00:14.45]At the break of day
[00:18.44]Start again
[00:21.83]I heard them say
[00:25.69]Don’t dwell on what has passed away
[00:33.06]Or what is yet to be
[00:36.63]
[00:41.05]Ah, the wars they will be fought again
[00:48.07]The holy dove, she will be caught again
[00:56.82]Bought and sold, and bought again
[01:03.22]The dove is never free
[01:07.40]
[01:10.92]Ring the bells that still can ring
[01:18.44]Forget your perfect offering
[01:25.67]There is a crack, a crack in everything
[01:33.02]That’s how the light gets in
[01:36.46]
[01:48.22]We asked for signs
[01:51.74]The signs were sent
[01:55.51]The birth betrayed
[01:59.28]The marriage spent
[02:03.22]Yeah, and the widowhood
[02:06.43]Of every government
[02:10.43]Signs for all to see
[02:14.10]
[02:17.99]I can’t run no more
[02:21.36]With that lawless crowd
[02:24.90]While the killers in high places
[02:29.34]Say their prayers out loud
[02:33.20]But they’ve summoned, they’ve summoned up
[02:37.17]A thundercloud
[02:40.68]They’re going to hear from me
[02:44.11]
[02:48.39]Ring the bells that still can ring
[02:56.01]Forget your perfect offering
[03:02.73]There is a crack, a crack in everything
[03:10.28]That’s how the light gets in
[03:13.68]
[03:25.17]You can add up the parts
[03:29.17]But you won’t have the sum
[03:32.61]You can strike up the march
[03:36.34]There is no drum
[03:40.63]Every heart, every heart
[03:45.18]To love will come
[03:48.12]But like a refugee
[03:51.67]
[03:55.56]Ring the bells that still can ring
[04:03.08]Forget your perfect offering
[04:10.23]There is a crack, a crack in everything
[04:17.79]That’s how the light gets in
[04:21.78]
[04:32.65]Ring the bells that still can ring
[04:40.87]Forget your perfect offering
[04:47.51]There is a crack, a crack in everything
[04:54.38]That’s how the light gets in
[04:58.08]That’s how the light gets in
[05:01.89]That’s how the light gets in
