Here is the story of how you came to be born, |
|
How you came to be born |
|
Papa had a beard then, |
|
Mama looked very young, |
|
Mama looked really young |
|
My father kept me from your father's loving arms, |
|
From your father's loving arms |
|
But one starry midnight, we stole away in a boat that your own father made |
|
Everyone is someone's sweet little baby |
|
Everyone is someone's sweet little baby |
|
Heaven protected |
|
We could come to no harm, |
|
We were meant for love |
|
And heaven blessed us |
|
In a year you were born, |
|
You our sweet little babe |
|
So don't let them tell you |
|
Little boy go to war, |
|
Fighting for your land |
|
And don't let them tell you |
|
It's okay, |
|
Those are not our kind of men |
|
Everyone is someone's sweet little baby |
|
Everyone is someone's sweet little baby |
|
Hands over hands child |
|
You were not meant for that |
|
You were meant for love |
|
You were meant for love |
|
You were meant for love |
