Anthem / Leonard Cohen

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 a bell that can still ring

• ringing bells that can be rung - I don’t care what I can’t control.

Forget perfection. - People who don’t release until it’s perfect aren’t aiming for perfection.

There is a rift in everything.

• light shining through a crack
