That Baby There

Story Behind The Song

I thought about how even the most evil people in the world were a cute little baby at one point in time.

Song Description

That Baby There is about the innocence of a baby. No one, not even the baby knows how it'll turn out to be. A good or bad person? But it doesn't take long until you see the first signs of hate, envy, jealousy, the first bad deeds etc. What each individual learns from it is another story. You see this sweet little baby looking at you with it's big round innocent eyes and for all you know, it could turn out to be a second Hitler one day! Or even a monk ! Life is fascinating......and mad.

Lyrics

THAT BABY THERE

Rollin' by in a little pram,
Everything so new,
It instinctively responds to anything we do.

Years to come are gonna make it change,
Who knows what it decides,
How it still is so uninfluenced
By words outside.
Will it be an enemy ?
Will it be a friend ?
Never knowing who it turns out to be in the end.

THAT BABY THERE IS SO IMMENSELY PURE,
HASN'T LEARNED TO HATE
BUT PRETTY SOON I'M SURE,
BABY SORRY BUT THE DAY WILL COME
WHEN YOUR FIRST BAD DEED IS DONE...
IS DONE.

Later on it's gonna need the same,
Amount of love and toys,
As the other kids at school who smile
And beam out joy.
Everyone who's visiting,
Every boy and girl,
Every day is spotting another wonder of this world.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Let's hope there won't be more
That feel the need to fight a war,
And justify again the pessimism in us all.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(REPEAT CHORUS)

All we think is oh how sweet and stare,
But all of us were once that baby there !
