Anthem

(Forget your perfect offering)

words by leonard cohen

MUSIC BY JEFFREY ALPHONSUS MOONEY

This is a reworked version of a part of a Leonard Cohen song (Anthem) by Jeffrey Alphonsus Mooney. I was taught this song by a friend, Carlin Quinn, and her version is closer to the version performed by Thrive choir from the East Coast Bay, US. (all versions below).

Forget your perfect offering

(Forget your perfect offering)

Let’s ring the bells that still can ring

(Let’s ring the bells that still can ring)

There is a crack in everything

(There is a crack in everything)

That’s how

(That’s how )

the light

(the light)

gets in.

That’s how the light gets in.

That’s how

(That’s how )

the light

(the light)

gets in.

That’s how the light gets in.
