From the recording Everything Spins
Lyrics
Better angels, always, everywhere
Speaking wisdom softly
Do you hear them
If you don't, they will start
Chanting, dancing, strutting, and struggling
To get your attention
Move you in the right direction
Better angels
Once I had wings. They were sunshine. Taking me so high
Tangled in dark lines. Grains of sand kept me from flight
I didn't listen to the
Chanting, dancing, strutting, and struggling
To get your attention
Move you in the right direction
Better angels
Those who hesitate are sometimes lost, listen y'all
It ain't worth the cost, ain't worth the cost
Grounded. Grateful. For the hard fall. Better Angels
I join in when they are
Chanting, dancing, strutting, and struggling
To get your attention
Move you in the right direction
Better angels
We do the kung fu, polka, and the bossa nova
While you slip into your coffee coma
Wake up now
Better angels
Better angels
