Here are some more of the lyrics from Leonard Cohen’s “Anthem”<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“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 is yet to be. <\/p>\n

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in. <\/p>\n

You can add up the parts
but you won’t have the sum
You can strike up the march,
there is no drum
Every heart, every heart
to love will come
but like a refugee. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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.
That’s how the light gets in.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
