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 

The birds they sang at the break of day “Start again”, 
I seem to hear 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, and the signs were sent 
The birth betrayed, the marriage spent 
Yeah, the widowhood of every single 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
But you won't have the sum
You can strike up the march
On your little broken 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 
That’s how the light gets in 
That’s how the light gets in  


—Leonard Cohen
