Christmas Song - Live at Wrigley Field, Chicago, IL - September 2010

Lyrics

She was his girl, he was her boyfriend
 She'll be his wife, and make him her husband
 A surprise on the way, any day, any day
 One healthy little gigglin', dribblin', 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 was all around
 Not a very much of his childhood was known
 Kept his mother Mary worried, always out on his own
 He met another Mary, who, for a reasonable fee
 Less than reputable was known to be
 His heart was full of love, love, love
 Love, love, love
 Love, love was all around
 When Jesus Christ was nailed to his tree
 He 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've spilled, the blood of our children all around
 The blood of our children all around
 The blood of our children's all around
 So I'm told or 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 insisted he soon would be
 For his deviations, taken into custody
 By the authorities, less informed than he
 Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers
 Searchin' for love, love, love
 Love, love, love
 Love, love is all around
 Preparations were made for his 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's spillin' down"
 Father up above
 How you know all this hatred, do you fill us 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, yeah
 Love, love, love
 Love, love, love
 Oh you need this love, love, love
 I care about in love, love, love
 Love, love
 And the blood of our children all around
 Thank you very much
