Anthem - Leonard Cohen

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. 

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 the signs were sent: 
The birth betrayed the marriage spent 
Yeah the widowhood of every government 
Signs for all to see. 

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 
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 
you won´t have the sum 
But You can strike up the march, 
There is no 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.
