A Cause
Céline Dion
Because
We loved each other because
Because of life
Because of big dreams
That we had built
Around Adam and Eve
And their paradises
We loved each other because
Because of a moment
Because of an atmosphere
Of a place and a time
And shreds of childhood
Sticking to our twenties
We loved each other because, because
But today so much has changed
We loved each other because, because
And now we have to love each other despite
You have to love yourself despite
Despite the time wasted
Despite all the big dreams
From which we never returned
Like Adam and like Eve
Of paradise lost
You have to love yourself despite
Even despite the worst
Despite the stratagems
Of our bodies without desire
Despite all our problems
Despite our memories
We loved each other because, because
But today so much has changed
We loved each other because, because
And now we have to love each other despite
We must love each other despite, despite many things
But now, you see, we cannot ignore
May love be transformed and its apotheosis
It's when we love because, because of despite!
We loved each other because, because
And now we have to love each other despite
But today so much has changed
We loved each other because, because
Yes now, we must love each other despite
