In this song ...and all the others from the concert he sung in London in 2008...he doesn't hold anything in his left hand... Apart from the cord of the microphone.
I also care about the things you mention... The sea life..the pollution...the rain forests disappearing and the orangutans losing their habitat etc. But it doesn't keep me awake at night worrying about it.
I do my bit to look after mother nature the best I can.
And bring peace, love and harmony to this world of chaos - starting from here and now!
This beautiful song was written in 1992 by a dear poet song-writer/singer and a dear “spiritual friend of mine” who unfortunately passed away 3 years ago. However, his songs will continue living in us and “Ring the Bells” has been sung all over the world ever since. RIP dear Leonard.
The idea of this song was about “imperfection” and how perfection is never found in our life, work, marriage, our country etc. As he said, “there is a crack in everything”..... meaning nothing and nobody is flawless but, “that´s where the light gets in”.....meaning that weakness can become strength and fault becomes virtue. And, why go searching for light when the light already shines from us?
He also explained that it´s about finding the silver lining in every situation – good and bad - but mostly from the bad.
The overall message is about mankind not being perfect, but still being able to take on the challenge of life. This is a message of HOPE and to see the goodness in ALL.
