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
Let's cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees
Better angels of our nature
Stay awake now, you're in danger
