Better Angels Lyrics

Tori Amos

Christmastide

Lyrics to Better Angels
Oh, what a year to be here
On this little rock third from the Sun
We need some mercy
Lighting a way from South to North
Voices raise under a starry host
A flame for change grows

These burning, these burning ashes in my mouth
Heaven help us out of this never-ending spell
Our better angels are singing, singing

One way out, only one way out of this
Unfreeze those wings that you dreamed in your chrysalis

Blazing East to the West
Watch fires lit to give us hope
A flame for change grows

These burning, these burning ashes in my mouth
Heaven help us, heaven help us help ourselves
Our better angels are singing, singing

One way out, only one way out of this
Unfreeze those wings that you dreamed in your chrysalis
Better angels, dream they exist
