He knows what we know but don't know quite how to articulate:

...We asked for signs
the signs were sent:
the birth betrayed
the marriage spent
Yeah the widowhood
of every 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.
  You can add up the parts
but 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. 

 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... 
-Leonard Cohen,"Anthem"
