Greg Simpson - Better Angels of Our Nature lyrics
he fell to his knees and he cried out for mercy heartfelt confession though it was to an angry mob vengeance was theirs as they bellowed for justice death to the man who had sinned against I God I joined in the chant feeling so high and mighty by pointing the finger from upon my throne til I looked in his tears and I caught my reflection and I knew that I could not cast the first stone let the gavel fall slowly though truth's been revealed sequester the jury for the moment appeal(?) in the courts of compassion I hope we can appeal to the better angel of our nature I walked along on my soft streets of plenty she walked the alleys of anguish and need while clutching my creed I was struck by a vision "but for the grace of God" that could be me and we gather in chambers of lofty ideal still debating the giving we have yet the bills(?) and in the congress of kindness I hope that we can yield to the better angel of our nature angels of mercy angels of might angels of darkness angels of light angels with voices that whisper so clear who do I lean to? who do I hear? we are building our world with a fevered emotion while trying to keep it from coming apart as we reach for the drink will we still reach within us we won't have the hope if we don't have the heart and we're tossed in the gail of the bold decline as we drink from the grail of society's wine at humanity's table I hope you choose to dine with the better angel of our nature better angel of our nature |
