Anthem-Larry Carlton/Terry McMillan

[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. [05:05.50]
