Anthem |
| 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 has yet to be |
| All the wars, they will be fought again |
| The holy dove, she will be caught again |
| Bought, 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 where the light gets in |
| We asked for signs the signs were sent |
| The birth betrayed, the marriage spent |
| The widowhood of every government |
| The signs for all to see |
| I shall 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 |
| You can add up the parts, you won’t have the sum |
| You can strike up a march, you won’t have a drum |
| Every heart to love shall come |
| But like a refugee |
| Repeat chorus |
| Repeat chorus |
