[00:09.50]The birds they sang
[00:12.50]at the break of day
[00:16.50]Start again
[00:19.50]I heard them say
[00:24.50]Don’t dwell on what
[00:28.50]has passed away
[00:32.50]or what is yet to be.
[00:34.50]
[00:39.50]Ah the wars they will
[00:43.50]be fought again
[00:47.50]The holy dove
[00:50.50]She will be caught again
[00:55.50]bought and sold
[00:59.50]and bought again
[01:01.50]the dove is never free.
[01:05.50]
[01:09.50]Ring the bells that still can ring
[01:17.50]Forget your perfect offering
[01:23.50]There is a crack in everything
[01:32.50]That’s how the light gets in.
[01:34.50]
[01:46.50]We asked for signs
[01:49.50]the signs were sent:
[01:53.50]the birth betrayed
[01:57.50]the marriage spent
[02:02.50]Yeah the widowhood
[02:05.50]of every government --
[02:09.50]signs for all to see.
[02:11.50]
[02:15.50]I can’t run no more
[02:19.50]with that lawless crowd
[02:24.50]while the killers in high places
[02:27.50]say their prayers out loud.
[02:31.50]But they’ve summoned, they’ve summoned up
[02:35.50]a thundercloud
[02:38.50]and they’re going to hear from me.
[02:41.50]
[02:46.50]Ring the bells that still can ring
[02:54.50]Forget your perfect offering
[03:01.50]There is a crack in everything
[03:08.50]That’s how the light gets in.
[03:11.50]
[03:23.50]You can add up the parts
[03:27.50]but you won’t have the sum
[03:31.50]You can strike up the march,
[03:35.50]there is no drum
[03:39.50]Every heart, every heart
[03:43.50]to love will come
[03:46.50]but like a refugee.
[03:49.50]
[03:54.50]Ring the bells that still can ring
[04:01.50]Forget your perfect offering
[04:08.50]There is a crack, a crack in everything
[04:16.50]That’s how the light gets in.
[04:19.50]
[04:31.50]Ring the bells that still can ring
[04:39.50]Forget your perfect offering
[04:47.50]There is a crack, a crack in everything
[04:53.50]That’s how the light gets in.
[04:56.50]That’s how the light gets in.
[05:01.50]That’s how the light gets in.
