Built in a brick shed
Covered in a cloth, she said
âBaby Jesus strap it to your heart
Make it like you mean it make it like a work of artâ
Timed to precision and made to tear a man apart
And his feet hit the pavement as she whispered âBaby Jesusâ
All alone, freezing in an inner city park
Baby Jesus strapped it to his heart
Stunned by the red light
He crumpled in the hazy dark
And bowed his head as he stood bleeding
Colder than a weighed out shot
And his head struck the pavement
As she whispered, âBaby Jesusâ
Baby Jesus, Baby Jesus, Baby Jesus, Baby Jesus
âI need faith,â he said
Shaking and reeling from the shock
âI need hopeâ he said
Feeling now the pain has gone
âJust give me something to hold onto, something to rely uponâ
But the wind took his last breath as she whispered âBaby Jesusâ
When the world cuts you down
And pure pressure starts to mount
When youâre forced to kick out any way
When youâre shot out to heaven high
Or blown out to the sky
When that cold wind whistles
Just what will you say, will you say
Baby Jesus, Baby Jesus, Baby Jesus, Baby Jesus
