She was his girl
|
he was her boyfriend
|
She be his wife
|
and make him her husband
|
A surprise on the way
|
any day, any day
|
One healthy little giggling
|
dribbling baby boy
|
The wise men came three
|
made their way
|
To shower him with love
|
While he lay in the hay
|
Shower him with love love love
|
Love love love
|
Love love is all around
|
Not very much of his childhood
|
was known
|
Kept his mother Mary worried
|
Always out on his own
|
He met another Mary
|
for a reasonable fee, less than
|
Reputable as known to be
|
His heart full of love love love
|
Love love love
|
Love love is all around
|
When Jesus Christ was nailed
|
to his tree Said
|
"oh, Daddy o, I can
|
see how it all soon will be
|
I came to shed a little light
|
on this darkening scene
|
Instead I fear I've spill
|
the blood of my children
|
all around"
|
The blood of my children
|
all around
|
The blood of my children
|
all around
|
So I'm told, so the story goes
|
The people he knew
|
were Less than golden hearted
|
Gamblers and robbers
|
Drinkers and jokers
|
all soul searchers
|
Like you and me
|
Rumors insisted he soon would be
|
For his deviations
|
Taken into custody
|
By the authorities less
|
informed than he
|
Drinkers and jokers
|
all soul searchers
|
Searching for love love love
|
Love love love
|
Love love is all around
|
Preparations were made
|
For his celebration day
|
He said "eat this bread
|
and think of it as me
|
Drink this wine
|
and dream it will be
|
The blood of our children
|
all around
|
The blood of our children
|
all around
|
The blood of our children
|
all around
|
Father up above
|
why in all this hatred
|
do you fill
|
Me up with love, love, love
|
Love love love
|
Love love's all around
|
Father up above
|
why in all this anger
|
do you fill
|
Me up with love
|
fill me love love love
|
Love love love
|
Love love love
|
And the blood of our children
|
all around
|
