Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything,
That’s how the light gets in
You can add up the parts
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
–from “Anthem” by Leonard Cohen
