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
