[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 k!llers 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
