|
She was his girl; he was her boyfriend
|
She be his wife; take him as 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 was full of love love love
|
Love love love
|
Love love is all around
|
When Jesus Christ was nailed to the 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 spill the blood of my children all around"
|
|
The blood of our children all around
|
The blood of our children all around
|
The blood of our children all around
|
So the story goes, so I'm told
|
The people he knew were
|
Less than golden hearted
|
Gamblers and robbers
|
Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers
|
Like you and me
|
|
Rumors insisited 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 anger have you fill
|
Me up with love
|
Fill me love love love
|
Love love love
|
Love love
|
And the blood of our children all around
|
|
