Philip Melancon - Stars Are Out Tonight In New Orleans lyrics

Stars are out tonight in New Orleans For the first time see their grace Oh, the price you must pay in New Orleans To see God's freckled face Beyond the year, beyond the pain Through this blanket of fear See the sky, feel inspired, Take you from the upheaval And low-lying grief Listen you can hear her sweet melody. There's a call for able bodies to New Orleans To defend her when trials come away For this place we call home, New Orleans Is smiled on by God's freckled face Reach through this world from New Orleans Cup of fragile breath in your hand Not a word, not a sound Nor light to be found Except the light in her face The peace she imparts And sing out the harmonies From deep in her heart Stars are out tonight in New Orleans For the first time feel their graze For this place we call home, New Orleans Is smiled on by God's freckled face
