Angry words and bitterness
Are slow to fade away
What happened to the dreams and hopes that we shared yesterday
Mystic chords of memory that stir within in our soul
Lead us to forgiveness so that we can be made whole
We are not enemies, there is no good in that
There are better angels that surround our soul
And we will find a way through all our differences
Hear the better angels, listen to their call
Hatred only breeds more hate and darkness in our heart
May we find compassion in a world so torn apart
A symphony of what could be
Says this where we start
We are not enemies, there is no good in that
There are better angels that surround our soul
And we will find a way through all our differences
Hear the better angels, listen to the call
Let our better angels be our guide
Yes, let our better angels walk beside
Can you catch us all
'Cause we just about to fall?
Rise up and find better angels in us all
Yes rise up it's time, oh, it's time
We are not enemies, there is no good in that
There are better angels, they surround our soul
And we will find a way through all our differences
Hear the better angels, listen to their call
And we will find a way

"Her name is Barbra Streisand. She is 20 years old, she has a three-octave promiscuity of range, she packs more personal dynamic power than anybody I can recall since Libby Holman or Helen Morgan. She can sing as loud as Ethel Merman and as persuasively as Lena or Ella, or as brassy as a Sophie Tucker ... and only Barbra Streisand can turn 'Cry Me a River' into something comparable to Enrico Caruso having his first bash at Pagliacci. When Streisand cries you a river, you got a river, Sam ... and she will be around 50 years from now if good songs are still written to be sung by good singers." — Syndicated columnist Robert Ruark, on her 1963 performances at the Blue Angel.
