our better angels - jeffrey simon lyrics
[verse 1]
i once drank coffee surrounded by strangers
now i won’t even go into the store
now i can’t even look out my window
without wonderin’ which side the aisle you’re for
[chorus]
daddy what happened to america?
was it a myth all along?
grew up believing in our better angels—
all i have left is this song
[verse 2]
acres are burning, people are hurting
i fight off the crazy and laugh through the pain
mom and dad taught me that things would get better
they never knew it could get this insane
[chorus]
daddy what happened to america?
was it a myth all along?
grew up believing in our better angels—
all i have left is this song
[verse 3]
i’ve been a realist since i can remember
but it’s getting tougher and tougher each day
truth is the truth’s gettin’ harder to come by
truth is the news has me eager to pray
[chorus]
daddy what happened to america?
was it a myth all along?
grew up believing in our better angels—
all i have left is this song
[verse 4]
i pray for the souls of american christians
if you dance with the devil, don’t cry when it burns
i pray that my judgment won’t hurt anybody
i pray that we never forget how to learn
i once believed in the kindness of strangers
i pray my believing will one day return
you might also like
[chorus]
daddy what happened to america?
was it a myth all along?
grew up believing in our better angels—
all i have left is this song
grew up believing in our better angels—
all i have left is this song
