I dedicate this new song, Better Angels, to the creative and courageous frontline heroes during this uncertain and troubled time; this song is inspired by them and Abraham Lincoln's amazing words.

Lately I’ve seen many better angels
Touching hearts without touching hands
Playing unplanned concerts without a band
Off’ring care and courage without demand
Better angels come
Hovering over this troubled land
Lately I’ve seen many better angels
Building up what’s been broken down
Searching for the lost who’s yet to be found
Spreading wings of kindness soothing the ground
Better angels come
Governing over my troubled town
With malice toward none
With charity for all
Let the better angels in your hearts to dwell
We can heal the nation
Breaking down the walls
Let the mystic chords of memory swell
Lately I’ve met many better angels
Being noticed simply is divine
Thoughtless words are met with kindhearted rhymes
Goodness’ not so tall a mountain to climb
Better angels come
Piloting us through this troubled time
With malice toward none
With charity for all
Let the better angels in your hearts to dwell
We can heal the nation
Breaking down the walls
Let the mystic chords of memory swell
Lately I have found my better angel
Learning that the world’s not black or white
Sharing what I cherish without a fight
Making thankful rackets every night
Better angels come
Come out from our hearts and take flight
