Loading...

(spoken intro)
you can’t just take people away like that. it’s not fair. this man, this man

(song)
this man, he was a good man full of years he had to live
this man deserved the best of what this country has to give
and no just law would mean that such a man would disappear
we’re not just helpless children. do you hear me? do you hear?
do you hear?

we have betrayed our better angels
the ones that once showed us the way
the better angels of our nation
arе they lost to us today?
well, it isn’t yours to say
this man, though he has vanishеd, like a murder, like a ghost
this man is an american in all that matters most
both tireless and fearless, full of music, proud and free
if such a man can disappear, then why not you and me?
why not me?

when did we lose our better angels?
how did we leave them in our wake?
how did we sacrifice our truest cause
for some small comfort’s sake
we know compassion is not weakness
and that true justice is not blind
but we have lost our better angels
we have left them far behind

it’s such a poor, pathetic sight
one old white man one errant night
awakened to this world at last
but if there is a god, then let a thousand old and tired white men
a million old and scared white men will wake up just like me
and fast, and fast

and we must find our better angels
and our country’s stoic soul
and remember where we came from
and make what’s broken whole
for we were born in revolution
and we were built on rights of men
when we fight, we say for freedom
will we know freedom once again?
for we warriors of freedom
we have up and have deserted
and while preaching to the choir
the choir is not converted
they say a single voice
cannot be heard above the roar
so we’ll raise a million voices
and as one, we’ll say “no more!”
and seek our better angels
we will find our better angels
we will know our better angels
with ray
we will embrace our better angels
one day
