My Better Angel
Penned by Melissa Rose Ziemer and Gary Yerkins of The Juleps c2001 ASCAP/BMI

I am the clown
Of the class
Big smile, lots of laughs -
I’m the one who can’t turn her back on any crowd

Outspoken
Always jokin’
You get the picture of a heart never broken -
Keep going ‘till there ain’t no good times left to turn down

Sign says, “If You’re Troubled Try Prayer”
I do, but the train don’t ever stop there -
Since the day I lost My Better Angel

I am a sinner
I am a friend
A mothers daughter, a child to a man -
An afterthought to a master plan I can’t control

Dear God, did I let you down?
The time I turned your tender mercy out?
Since that day it’s been a long slow spiral spinnin’ round

Sign says, “If You’re Troubled Try Prayer”
I do, but the train don’t ever stop there
Since the day I lost My Better Angel

Spotlight on me
Let me show you what you need
Just don’t walk away
Hear what I have to say
Please

Sign says, “If You’re Troubled Try Prayer”
I do, but the train don’t ever stop there -
Since the day I gave away My Better Angel.
