Better Angels Lyrics by Nefesh Mountain

Beacons

2024

[Verse 1 - Eric Lindberg]
When the canyon moon is riding high
And the wooded whispers begin
When the levees break along with the tide
And the only path is sin
You can't fight the current all alone
Or just take a paddle for your canoe
This time it's not just sticks and stones
So I'm comin' along with you
There's a higher road just up the hill
But none of us could hear the call
It's not a siren song or fire drill
It's a warning for us all
[Chorus - Eric Lindberg & Doni Zasloff]
We're only strangers, who've yet to be friends
We'll be in pain 'til we can make amends
Thеse stubborn stains will come out in the еnd
Oh better angels, unite us all again
[Verse 2 - Eric Lindberg & Doni Zasloff, Doni Zasloff]
She brought the kids to the river bank
Took shelter by a mighty oak
She dried their eyes as her heart sank
And wished it all was but a joke
She said son and daughter, listen well
Don't you take all words to heart
We've got to play the cards we're dealt
Been that way from the start
They listened as the waters told
Stories of when good prevailed
When the sky sent down streams of gold
She knew their ship had yet to sail
[Chorus - Eric Lindberg & Doni Zasloff]
We're only strangers, who've yet to be friends
We'll be in pain 'til we can make amends
These stubborn stains will come out in the end
Oh better angels, unite us all again
[Verse 3 - Eric Lindberg, Eric Lindberg & Doni Zasloff]
Come all you roving cowboys
Toss another chip into the flames
We can build back what we've destroyed
Be a beacon in the game
We can learn to see in each other's eyes
And breathe without bated breath
Must we all choose our own disguise
Between Lincoln and Macbeth
We can feed the lion and the dove
Be messengers from the mountaintop
But if it doesn't start with love
Who knows when it'll stop?
[Chorus - Eric Lindberg & Doni Zasloff]
We're only strangers, who've yet to be friends
We'll be in pain 'til we can make amends
These stubborn stains will come out in the end
Oh better angels, unite us all again
