Better Angels Better angels of our nature, Stay awake now you're in danger The coming night is dark and deep Cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees Keep going forward, one hundred abreast The horses are thirsty, they will protest Tonight we'll water them in the Tennessee And cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees They outnumber, but we're at our best As willing we stumble into their bullets blessed Hold the line, stay close to me Lets cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees Better angels of our nature, Stay awake now you're in danger
