Barbra Streisand - Better Angels Lyrics

Angry words and bitterness
Are slow to fade away
What happened to the dreams and hopes that we shared yesterday
Mystic chords of memory that stir within in our soul
Lead us to forgiveness so that we can be made whole

We are not enemies, there is no good in that
There are better angels that surround our soul
And we will find a way through all our differences
Hear the better angels, listen to their call

Hatred only breeds more hate and darkness in our heart
May we find compassion in a world so torn apart
A symphony of what could be
Says this where we start

We are not enemies, there is no good in that
There are better angels that surround our soul
And we will find a way through all our differences
Hear the better angels, listen to the call

Let our better angels be our guide
Yes, let our better angels walk beside
Can you catch us all
'Cause we just about to fall?
Rise up and find better angels in us all
Yes rise up it's time, oh, it's time

We are not enemies, there is no good in that
There are better angels, they surround our soul
And we will find a way through all our differences
Hear the better angels, listen to their call

And we will find a way
