Better Angels

I

Some days you walk amidst the ruins

And you can see only through your tears

Those days good choices arent easy

when youre paralyzed by fear

paralyzed by fear

II

Sometimes you can almost

hear their whisper

and the faintest flutter of their wings

Somehow you know theyll be there hiding

In the silence of all things

in the silence of all things

Refrain

Seek your better angels

in the frenzy of the day

Choose your better angels

Youve got to find a way

Discern your higher nature

in the uncertain and the dark

Its a hidden treasure

buried deep there in your heart

III

Some days were drowning in desire

wrestling in the ocean of our needs

But sometimes with their silent presence

They may take the lead

they may take the lead

Repeat Refrain

Seek your better angels

Youve got to find a way

Discern your higher nature

In your life

Coda

Sometimes we just need

to get our hearts broken

To pry our hearts open
