[00:10.270] The birds they sang
[00:13.510] at the break of day
[00:17.640] Start again
[00:21.020] I heard them say
[00:25.070] Don't dwell on what
[00:29.340] has passed away
[00:32.370] or what is yet to be.
[00:35.150]
[00:40.000] Ah the wars they will
[00:43.530] be fought again
[00:47.170] The holy dove
[00:50.800] She will be caught again
[00:55.830] bought and sold
[00:59.240] and bought again
[01:02.230] the dove is never free.
[01:06.440]
[01:09.900] Ring the bells that still can ring
[01:17.920] Forget your perfect offering
[01:24.570] There is a crack in everything
[01:32.010] That's how the light gets in.
[01:38.690]
[01:47.060] We asked for signs
[01:50.730] the signs were sent:
[01:54.550] the birth betrayed
[01:58.310] the marriage spent
[02:02.440] Yeah the widowhood
[02:05.540] of every government
[02:09.790] signs for all to see.
[02:13.250]
[02:16.730] I can't run no more
[02:20.660] with that lawless crowd
[02:25.070] while the killers in high places
[02:28.310] say their prayers out loud.
[02:32.070] But they've summoned, they've summoned up
[02:37.300] a thundercloud
[02:41.700] and they're going to hear from me.
[02:45.350]
[02:47.320] Ring the bells that still can ring
[02:55.040] Forget your perfect offering
[03:01.860] There is a crack, a crack in everything
[03:09.410] That's how the light gets in.
[03:12.170]
[03:24.160] You can add up the parts
[03:28.930] but you won't have the sum
[03:31.820] You can strike up the march,
[03:35.820] there is no drum
[03:40.040] Every heart, every heart
[03:45.550] to love will come
[03:47.410] but like a refugee.
[03:49.920]
[03:54.880] Ring the bells that still can ring
[04:02.470] Forget your perfect offering
[04:09.580] There is a crack, a crack in everything
[04:16.630] That's how the light gets in.
[04:19.540]
[04:31.830] Ring the bells that still can ring
[04:39.830] Forget your perfect offering
[04:46.710] There is a crack, a crack in everything
[04:54.130] That's how the light gets in.
[04:57.680] That's how the light gets in.
[05:01.620] That's how the light gets in.
