Lyrics:
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
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, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
We asked for signs, and the signs were sent
The birth betrayed, the marriage spent
Yeah, the widowhood of every single 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
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
You can add up the parts, but you won't have the sum
You can strike up the march, on your little broken 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
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
That's how the light gets in

The older I get, the more deeply I understand his songs. No longer from my intellect, but from my experience. It's a much more profound experience listening now compared to my younger years. So moving. Thank you, Leonard.

My son doesn't get Leonards' music yet, but I will leave this comment for him to find after I'm gone. This song meant so much to me. Hopefully youtube survives. I love you. Keep searching. Carpe diem.

Privileged to see him in concert at Sydney Entertainment Centre mid ‘80s. He is the real deal. Consummate performer. ❤❤❤

Writing this on my beloved darling wife's ipad, she has recently passed away, I am broken after more 50 years together, this is pure magical truth. Keith Kennedy

Mit seiner Musik gewachsen, 60 Jahre, gelebt, verstehen, jetzt, umso mehr. Und dazu gehören noch viele andere. Melanie, Dylan, Baez, Joplin, und die meine Generation, die Freiheit, Gerechtigkeit, Gleichheit, vertreten. Wir sollten die Wege weiterführen, wenn auch nicht musikalisch möglich.

The phrase "There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in," just transformed my life. Thank God for Leonard Cohen!

[@matildeberrio]

Dear Leonard, you couldn't imagine in what darkness and caos we are in 2021...

Leonard's music is superb and this band is surely his best ever. When Leonard assigned Roscoe Beck to assemble this band he told him "I want the best band on the road this year". Many of this band are virtuosos and notable artists in their own right. It's a perfect display of everyone fitting their contribution to create a perfect whole. It's wonderful that the final act of Leonard's life was to create this masterful line up and give us the best ever performances of his songs.

I love how seriously Cohen took his calling. He’s the ultimate ‘stare at the page until beads of blood appear on your forehead’ kind of writer. The never let go tenacity of staring into a song sometimes for years until it emerges. He’ll only get more relevant.

THERE IS A CRACK, A CRACK IN EVERYTHING, THATS HOW THE LIGHT GETS IN

[@jerubaal3333]

How I love this Anthem My bell always sings: "There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in"

[@bellgab]

Eloquence and elegance manifested in this man. What a gift for humanity.

[@BatsonicAbie]

On December 10th, I lost everything I own to a tornado. It was the day before my wedding. I got married in a church without electricity. I started picking up the pieces before leaving for my honeymoon. I just found this song the other day, and have been listening on repeat.

[@thomasrene4511]

This is the anthem of humanity.

[@gominniebear]

I'm here because dr. Gu Wei recommended this song. "there's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in" is such a beautiful phrase. Thank you dr. Gu, and thank you Leonard Cohen for singing this beautiful melody 🎶

[@maxreif]

This is just the MOST WONDERFUL VIDEO! And these comments...YES!!! A MILLLION HEARTS!!! I love you all! And thank you for everything, dear Leonard!

[@brigittebusato4492]

Cette chanson de Léonard est un phare pour moi . Elle rappelle que la grande majorité des gens veulent vivre en paix mais quelques dirigeants fous cassent tout, toujours, pour le malheur des gens .Il faut crier bien fort notre rejet pour tous ceux qui sèment le malheur. Thank you Léonard, je t'aime pour ce beau message adressé à toute l'humanité.

People die twice - once when they draw their last breath and once when their name is last spoken. Please keep saying the amazing man's name and teach to your children.
