about

This is the first single from the album Hard Climb, due out early 2022.

lyrics

Gotta blame myself cause there’s no one else left.
And I find it so hard these days to forgive, less forget.

I’ve stayed up all night long
and re-lived everything I’ve done wrong.
And I’ve stayed up all night long,
and I’ve wondered should I even go on?
Can I even go on?

I’ve got better angels watching over me tonight
I’ve got better angels. They’re holding me just right.
No more second chances slipping through my arms this time.
I’ve got better angels. I’m gonna be alright.

And when that darkest hour falls.
Well that’s when you just might hear your name, when I call.

You’re not the first I’ve hurt,
and you won’t be the last too long.
But all those mistakes I make,
I learn; and I’ll keep moving on.
And I’m not on my own.

I’ve got better angels watching over me tonight
I’ve got better angels. They’re holding me just right.
No more second chances slipping through my arms this time.
I’ve got better angels. I’m gonna be alright.
I’ve got better angels. I’m gonna be alright.
Better Angels
Better Angels
Better Angels
Better Angels
