Anthem [Live] lyrics

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

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

They're gonna 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

You can strike up the march

There is no drum

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

Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering

There is a crack, 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

(That's how the light gets in)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh
