[Oe List ...] FW: "Ring the bells that still can ring" -- holiday greeting

[Herman Greene]

I received this from a friend. It has so much of RS-I in it I wanted to
share it with you.

Ring the bells that still can ring 
Forget your perfect offering 
There is a crack, a crack in everything 
That's how the light gets in

 

Leonard Cohen

"Anthem"

The birds they sang at the break of day 
Start again I seem to hear them say 
Don't dwell on what has passed away 
or what is yet to be. 

Ah the wars 

they will be fought again 
The holy dove 
She will be caught again 
bought and sold and bought again 
the dove is never free. 

Ring the bells that still can ring 
Forget your perfect offering 
There is a crack in everything 
That's how the light gets in. 

We asked for signs 
the signs were sent: 
the birth betrayed 
the marriage spent 
Yeah the widowhood of every government -- 
signs for all to see. 

I can't 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 
and they're going to hear from me. 

Ring the bells that still can ring ... 

You can add up the parts 
but you won't have the sum 
You can strike up the march, 
but there is no drum 
Every heart, every heart 
to love will come 
but like a refugee. 

Ring the bells that still can ring 
Forget your perfect offering 
There is a crack, a crack in everything 
That's how the light gets in. 

 

Leonard Cohen
