Fallen Angel
Discovering Hope: Kris Kristofferson's Reflection on a Better Way
Lyrics
It's sad to see we may never be the way we were before
Expresses sadness at the inability to return to a previous state.
We don't believe in the magic of the music anymore
Conveys a loss of belief in the transformative power of music.
And everything's older now and colder and grey
Describes a sense of aging, coldness, and greyness in life.
Oh, darlin' I believe there's got to be a better way.
Expresses hope for a better way, despite current challenges.
It seems to me we've forgotten how to let our feelings show
Suggests a lack of emotional expression and connection in relationships.
We seem to be so much farther from the dreams we used to know
Highlights a distance from past dreams and a sense of loss.
And too many more, my friend, are dying today
Points out the increasing number of deaths, emphasizing the urgency for change.
Oh darlin' I believe there's got to be a better way.
Reiterates the belief in the possibility of a better way despite challenges.
Listen to the fallen angels learning how to spread their wings.
Refers to those facing challenges as "fallen angels" learning to navigate difficulties.
How will they make it all alone?
Raises a question about the ability to overcome challenges alone.
Look into the children's laughter
Directs attention to children's laughter, prompting reflection on the future for those far from home.
Tell me what tomorrow brings for those so far away from home.
Asks about the future for those distant from home.
And I can say I'm not sorry for the things we tried to be
Acknowledges past efforts without regret.
But I'm afraid what we're heading toward is up, to you and me
Expresses fear about the direction the speaker and others are heading.
'Cause we got a choice, the future is ours you see
Highlights the existence of a choice that can shape the future.
We got a chance to change today
Underlines the opportunity to change the present for a better future.
Oh, darlin' don't you believe there's got to be a better way
Reiterates the belief in the possibility of a better way with an emotional appeal.
'Cause we got a choice, the furture is ours you see
Reaffirms the presence of a choice and the potential to shape the future.
We got a chance to change it today.
Highlights the immediate opportunity to bring about positive change.
Oh I believe together there can be a better way
Expresses belief in collective efforts leading to a better way.
Oh if we believe together we can build a better way.
Encourages collective belief for the construction of a better future.
