The complete lyrics are as follows:
Birds that they sing at dawn. At dawn, birds burst into song.
I heard them say: don't always think about what has passed or will happen. I heard them start singing: Don't dwell on the past and don't worry about things that didn't happen.
Ah, war will haunt them again. The war will come again.
She will be caught again, sold, and the dove will never be free. The dove of peace will lose her freedom, be caught and be sold.
Ring the bell that can still ring. The bell rang.
Forget your perfect proposal. Forget what you have.
Everything has cracks. That's how light comes in. Everything has cracks, that's where the light comes in.
We ask for signs, signs are sent: birth tests, marriage expenses, and the extensive cover of every government-signs that everyone can see. Birth, marriage and widowhood in every country are signs of our prayers.
I can't run with those lawless people when the killers are praying loudly on high places. The murderer prayed loudly from a height, and I struggled through the crowd.
But they have been summed up, they have been summed up as a thunderstorm, and they will receive my letter. The muffled thunder interrupted their prayers and began to listen to me:
You can add up the parts but there will be no sum, you can assemble them, but you can't grasp the main points.
You can play the March without drums. You can go out, but there is no drum.
Every loving heart will come, but like a refugee. Full of love will bring salvation.
