Better Angels

Better Angels

better angels of our nature,

stay awake now you're in danger

the coming night is dark and deep

cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees

keep going forward, one hundred abreast

the horses are thirsty, they will protest

tonight we'll water them in the Tennessee

and cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees

they outnumber, but we're at our best

as willing we stumble into their bullets blessed

hold the line, stay close to me

lets cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees

better angels of our nature,

stay awake now you're in danger
