You Are Your Mother's Child Lyrics

Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red& yellow,black & white
they're precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world

Jesus cares for all the children
All the children of the world
Black and yellow, red and white
They're all precious in His sight
Jesus cares for the children of the world

Jesus came to save the children
All the children of the world
Black and yellow, red and white
They're all precious in His sight
Jesus came to save the children of the world

Jesus came to save the children of the world

You Are Your Mother's Child

Oberst adopts on this song the perspective of a contrite father, proud of his child's accomplishments despite his own shortcomings as a dad. "I definitely struggled with whether to put that one on the record," Oberst told Billboard magazine. "It has more sentimentality to it than any of the other songs, but I've seen a lot of friends go through that stuff. [Having kids] would be a cool thing to do someday. I don't particularly feel ready for it right now, but I guess no one ever does."

The song's music video was filmed on Fire Island, which is the 32-mile-long island that stretches south of New York's Long Island. Popular with the gay community, The Village People paid tribute to the location on their 1977 song "Fire Island."
