Everyone is Someone’s

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 thing
Everyone is someone's sweet little thing

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 thing
Everyone is someone's sweet little thing

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
