Better Angels Of Our Nature - Susan Ashton[00:00:00]

He fell to his knees[00:00:09]

And he cried out for mercy[00:00:10]

Heart-felt confessionals to an angry mob[00:00:13]

But vengeance was theirs[00:00:18]

As they bellowed for justice[00:00:20]

"Death to the man[00:00:23]

Who has sinned against God "[00:00:24]

I joined in the chant feeling[00:00:34]

So high and mighty[00:00:36]

Pointing the finger[00:00:38]

From up on my throne[00:00:40]

'Til I looked in his tears[00:00:43]

And I caught my reflection[00:00:45]

And I knew that I could not[00:00:47]

Cast the first stone [00:00:50]

Let the gavel fall slowly[00:00:52]

Tho' truth's been revealed[00:00:54]

Sequester the jury[00:00:56]

For a moment to feel[00:00:59]

And in the courts of compassion[00:01:01]

I hope we can appeal[00:01:03]

To the better angels of our nature [00:01:06]

To the better angels of our nature [00:01:10]

I walked along on my soft[00:01:40]

Streets of plenty[00:01:43]

She walked the alleys[00:01:44]

Of anguish and need[00:01:46]

While clutching my greed[00:01:49]

I was struck by a vision[00:01:51]

But for the grace of God [00:01:54]

That could be me [00:01:56]

And we gather in chambers[00:01:58]

Of lofty ideals[00:02:00]

Still debating the giving[00:02:02]

When handed the bill[00:02:05]

But in the congress of kindness[00:02:07]

I hope that we can yield[00:02:09]

To the better angels of our nature [00:02:11]

To the better angels of our nature [00:02:16]

Angels of mercy angels of light[00:02:29]

Angels of darkness angels of might[00:02:33]

Angels with voices[00:02:38]

That whisper so clear[00:02:40]

Who do I lean to who do I hear [00:02:43]

We are building our world[00:03:13]

With a fevered emotion[00:03:15]

While trying to keep it[00:03:18]

From coming apart[00:03:20]

But as we reach for the dream[00:03:22]

Can we still reach within us[00:03:24]

We won't have the hope[00:03:27]

If we don't have the heart [00:03:28]

'Cause we've tossed in the gale[00:03:31]

Of a moral decline[00:03:33]

As we drink from the grail[00:03:36]

Of society's wine[00:03:38]

But at humanities table[00:03:40]

I hope we choose to dine[00:03:43]

With the better angels of our nature [00:03:45]

With the better angels of our nature[00:03:49]
