She was his girlhe was her boyfriend
She'd be his wifeand make him her husband.
A surprise on the way any day any day
One healthy little gigglingdribbling baby boy
The wisemen camethree made their way
To shower him with love while he lay in the hay
Shower him with lovelovelove
Lovelovelove
Lovelove was all around.
Not very much of his childhood was known
Kept his mother mary worried always out on his own
He met another marywho for a reasonable fee
Less than reputable was known to be
His heart was full of lovelovelove
Lovelovelove
Lovelove was all around.
When jesus christ nailed to his tree
Said oh daddy-oI can see how it all soon will be
I came to shed a little light on this darkening sea
Instead I fear I've spilled the blood of my children all around
The blood of my children all around
The blood of my children's all around.
So I'm toldso the story goes
The people he knew were less than golden-hearted
Gamblers and robbers
Drinkers and jokersall soul searchers
Like you and melike you and me
Rumors insisted that he soon would be
For his deveations taken into custody
By the authoritiesless informed than he
Drinkers and jokersall soul searchers
Searching for lovelovelove
Lovelovelove
Lovelove was all around.
Preparations were made for a celebration day
He said eat this bread but 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

Father up above
