Cafe Du Monde Lyrics

oh we rejoice to the hatred of disciples of man

to the dangers of love and to the dirt of the land
to the bitter ends of good good friendships

to the burning of our hands

for there is life after fire and there is birth after death

there is good in us all for there is evil so let us

delight in the balance let us rest
in the beauty of our being

oh when the chaos of storms break foundations of homes

there is comfort in lightning in the sting of the cold

there is hope in the sound of the thunder
in the rising of the shore

and when the clouds are defeated by the warmth of the sun

we will long for the struggles of the battles we've won

for the taste of our joy is greater

in the memories of loss
