Out of the darkness A light appears Better angels fly Moments of redemption Between you and I Over and over and again We all just have to bend So many hard lines Are flexible What would it give to take Only need a moment For it to snap and break Brother or lover or a friend We all just need to bend 'Cause if it breaks We lose the power to learn from our mistakes But if it bends Then you and I can try to make amends As better friends It's almost over We're older now Better angels stay Searching for an answer And then it comes to me Over and over and again We'll all just have to bend
