The baby

Passion of the spring came the baby
And in the passion of the spring came the baby
Words that were spoken in the anger of youth only half truth
Touched by the child bride while deep inside lie the real truth
He was the passion of the spring he was the baby
Half-forgotten in the passing of time the real crime
Brother to brother with backs to each other the war sign
And in the passion of the spring came the baby
Come back mama mama sing him a song
Tell him all that was wrong
Tell him all that you had that was bad
Tell him all that was good mama
You know that you should mama
Remember the good mama
And in the passion of the spring
Came the baby
verse 4
And with a light that you show
Let him go
Let him go let him go
Let him go let him let him go
verse 2
He was the passion of the spring he was the baby
He was the passion of the spring he was the baby And in the passion of the spring came the baby
And in the passion of the spring came the baby
The baby yeah the baby
The baby yeah the baby
The baby yeah the baby
