Anthem Lyrics - Cohen Leonard

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 

Yeah 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 (ring the bells) that still can ring 

Forget your perfect offering 

There is a crack in everything (there is 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, ring, ring, ring) 

Ring the bells that still can ring 

Forget your perfect offering 

There is a crack, a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything) 

That's how the light gets in 

You can add up the parts 

You won't have the sum 

You can strike up the march 

There is no drum 

Every heart, every heart to love will come 

But like a refugee 

(Ring, ring, ring, ring) 

Ring the bells that still can ring 

Forget your perfect offering 

There is a crack, a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything) 

That's how the light gets in 

Ring the bells that still can ring (ring the bells that still can ring) 

Forget your perfect offering 

There is a crack, a crack in everything (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
