That's how the light gets in
Ah, the wars they will be fought again
Ring the bells that still can ring
There is a crack, a crack in everything
While the killers in high places say their prayers out loud
There is a crack, a crack in everything
The holy dove, she will be caught again
Forget your perfect offering
Ring the bells that still can ring
Signs for all to see
There is a crack, a crack in everything
But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
Ring the bells that still can ring
Ring the bells that still can ring
Every heart, every heart to love will come
I can't run no more with that lawless crowd
The dove is never free
Bought and sold and bought again
That's how the light gets in
Don't dwell on what has passed away
That's how the light gets in
But like a refugee
You can strike up the march, there is no drum
The birth betrayed, the marriage spent
And they're going to hear from me
Yeah, the widowhood of every government
Or what is yet to be
We asked for signs, the signs were sent
Forget your perfect offering
That's how the light gets in
Forget your perfect offering
You can add up the parts, you won't have the sum
That's how the light gets in
