She was his girl;
He was her boyfriend.
She be his wife;
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 was 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 spill
The blood of my children all around."

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.
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 hatred
Do you fill me up with love?
Love love
Love love love
Love love is all around.

Father up above, why in all this hatred
Do you fill me up with love?
Fill me love love love
Love love love.
All you need is love
Love love.
Can't buy me love
Love love
Love love
And the blood of our children all around.
